Airwars assessment

Shortly before 10:36 PM on Sunday, October 22nd 2023, the Al-Ghandour family’s house in Beit Lahia, near the Abu Ubaida Center, in the north of the Gaza Strip, was allegedly hit by Israeli aircraft bombing, resulting in at least 18 and potentially more than 25 deaths, including at least four women and at least five children. Sources referred to a large number of others also injured in the strike, though exact figures were not found.

Initially, Shehab Agency and the Gaza Interior Ministry reported about four people killed and a number of injuries. Later on, Muhammad Hazem Al-Masry wrote about a large number of injured, and Umm lol about “dozens of martyrs and wounded” as a result of the attack. Rafat Abu Alaa reported about 16 civilians killed, noting that the death toll may increase due to many remaining under the rubble. Activist Mohamed Yousif stated that more than 25 members of Al-Ghandour family were killed with some remaining under the rubble.

Among them, 18 members of the family who were killed were identified by Airwars based on social media testimonies by relatives and friends. A 60-year-old man named Muhammad Badr Fahd Al-Ghandour (also known as Abu Badr) and his wife, 56-year-old Maryam Ahmed Al-Ghandour (Al-Halabi) were killed alongside their eight sons, daughter, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren.

Their sons who were killed were identified as 30-year-old Fahd Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, 22-year-old Omar Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, 20-year-old Youssef Muhammed Badr Al-Ghandour and 18-year-old Muhammad Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour. Three other sons of theirs were also killed: Hamza Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour,  39-year-old Badr Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, and 37-year-old Mahmoud Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour.

Their newly-wed son, Mustafa Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, and his wife, 22-year-old Ahlam Muhammad Salim Al-Ghandour (Farhat), were killed.

Muhammed and Maryam’s 9-year-old daughter, Nisma Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, was killed alongside her nieces and nephews. They were identified as Mahmoud’s four children: his daughters, 12-year-old Maryam Mahmoud Muhammad Al-Ghandour and Maria Mahmoud Muhammad Badr Al-Ghandour, who was described as a child, and his sons, 14-year-old Muhammad Mahmoud Muhammad Al-Ghandour and 13-year-old Qusay Mahmoud Muhammad Al-Ghandour.

Two other family members, a 40-year-old man named Shehada Badr Fahd Al-Ghandour and a 38-year-old female relative called Tawfiqa Muhammad Salim Al-Ghandour were also killed.

Family members and friends of the Al-Ghandour made heartfelt tributes and described their grief. Multiple sources described victims remaining buried under the rubble but didn’t identify the number of victims or their names.

One relative of the family, Ahmed Sardah, in a post on Facebook, expressed his distress and pleaded for anyone who lived near the Al-Ghandour family in Beit Lahia or the area of the Indonesian Hospital to check on them and reassure him.

Where the sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

The names of fifteen victims have been reconciled with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities published on October 26, 2023.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

منزل عائلة أبو معيلق في دير البلح وسط القطاع, Abu Mu’eileq home, Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, Deir al-Balah, the Gaza Strip

Airwars assessment

At 12pm on Sunday, October 22nd 2023, between 22 and 31 civilians, including at least 11 children and eight women, were killed and others were injured after an alleged Israeli airstrike on the homes of the Abu Muailiq family in Deir Al-Balah, which is located in the middle of the Gaza Strip.

Amnesty International reported that three homes belonging to the Abu Muailiq brothers and their families were hit by an alleged Israeli airstrike. The incident took place south of Wadi Gaza, where residents of northern Gaza had been ordered to relocate on October 13th, 2023.

Amnesty International has identified the US-made Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), as the bomb used during the strike based on images of fragments of the munition found at the scene of the incident. Amnesty International weapons experts have estimated that the JDAM used weighed “at least 1000 lbs” and was likely manufactured in 2018.

Dr Bakr Youssef Abu Muailiq posted to Facebook detailing those killed during the incident. His wife, 44-year-old Islam Majed Kamel Abu Muailiq, also known as Umm Ghanam, was killed along with their four children: Duaa Bakr Youssef Abu Muailiq (daughter, 16), Lama Bakr Youssef Abu Muailiq (daughter, aged 11), Muhammad Bakr Youssef Abu Muailiq (son, aged 13) and Ghanem Bakr Youssef Abu Muailiq (son, aged 14)

The sister of Islam Abu Muailiq, Samar Majid Kamel Abu Muailiq, was also killed during the strike along with her five children: Rahaf Omar Youssef Abu Muailiq (daughter, aged 19), Raneem Omar Youssef Abu Muailiq (daughter, aged 17), Raghad Omar Youssef Abu Muailiq (daughter, aged 14), Sami Omar Youssef Abu Mailiq (son, aged 10) and Youssef Omar Youssef Abu Muailiq (son, aged 5).

Shorouk Majod Kamel Abu Muailiq, the sister of both Islam and Samar, was killed with her three children in the airstrike: Souad Hossam Ibrahim Salem (daughter, aged 9), Aya Hossam Ibrahim Salem (daughter, aged 7) and Ibrahim Hossam Ibrahim Salem (son, aged 6). 48-year-old Youlia Nicola Abu Muailiq, who was reported to be a Russian citizen, also died during the incident along with her daughter Dr. Lina Sami Abu Mualiq who was 23 years old.

The airstrike also killed numerous other members of the Abu Muailiq family including 22-year-old Kareem Yousef Salem Abu Muailiq and his 34-year-old brother Amar Yousef Salem Abu Muailiq, a 60-year-old woman called Raisa Abdullah Sulayman Abu Muailiq and Saheed Abdel Karim Mustafa Abu Muailiq, along with an unnamed woman referred to as the wife of Abu Ahed. The neighbour of the Abu Muailiq household – a 39-year-old man named Rajab Ghaz Mezyed – also died as a result of the strike.

Amnesty International reported that 19 people were killed in the incident, however, Airwars has identified 23 names of individuals reported as killed amongst sources. In line with Airwars methodology, the minimum number of civilians killed is 23, as 23 names were identified. The highest civilian casualty count was reported by Duaa Jarghon, in a post on Facebook, who wrote that Umm Ghanem and 30 other members of the Abu Mu’eileq family had been killed.

Amnesty International found no evidence that the homes of Abu Mu’eileq had any military purpose, or that Hamas was engaged in civilian ‘shielding’ at this location. The NGO described the strike as ‘unlawful’. Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, publicly announced that the incident was a ‘wake-up’ call for the Biden Administration into the role that US-made munitions are having in facilitating civilian casualties in Gaza.

@Al-BusairsAbuAli posted a video to Facebook showing the aftermath of the airstrike. It shows civilians digging through the rubble of demolished buildings, and carrying the remains of those killed during the incident. It is claimed ‘dozens’ were killed during the strike. @ShebabAgency posted a video to ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) that showed the bodies of four young children that were killed during the strike. Their names had been written onto their bodies while they were alive so that they could be identified if they were killed.

In an interview with Amnesty International, Dr Bakir Youssef Abu Muailiq – an ear, nose and throat specialist – said that he was working at the hospital when the airstrike that killed his wife and four children took place. Dr Bakr said there was no justification for the strike, and reaffirmed that his family was non-political: “we are doctors and scientists”. His statement aligns with Amnesty International’s assessment that there was no military objective to carrying out a strike on the Abu Muailiq households.

Samaher Abu Muailiq, the brother-in-law of Islam, told Amnesty International that he left the building a minute before it was struck. He reportedly sustained injuries to the neck and the back when he was thrown against a door by the force of the blast. Survivors of the incident told Amnesty International that no warning was given.

Since the incident, heartfelt testimonials have been posted online. @Abu Fares Ghareeb, posting on behalf of the “14 Million Conference”, commiserated the death of Islam Abu Muailiq and her children on Facebook, praising Islam’s kindness and good character. Islam was a member of the conference’s follow-up committee and the conference’s coordinator in the Gaza Strip.

Wesam Waleed, a member of the Abu Muailiq family, described a “tiring and exhausting night” where he did not sleep due to his heartbreak.

Amnesty International sent questions regarding the two attacks to the Israeli military’s spokesperson unit on 21 November. At the time of the publication of the Amnesty International report on December 5, 2023, no response had been received.

The names of 12 victims have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of names, ages and IDs of victims published on October 26, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

Location

منزلاً لعائلة الزطمة بجوار مسجد زيد بين مخيم بدر والبراهمة غرب رفح, al-Zatmeh family house next to Zaid Mosque between Badr and Al-Brahma camp, west of Rafah, Gaza, the Gaza Strip

Airwars assessment

Fifteen members of the al-Zatmeh and Ghoneim families, including 11 children and two women, were killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the al-Zatmeh family home to the West of Rafah on October 22nd 2023. The house was situated next to Zaid mosque, between Badr and Al-Brahma camp. Initial reports by @ShehabAgency claimed “a large number of injuries,” though did not specify the number of injured victims. According to Alaa Abu Anas, “there [were] body parts and missing persons being identified” following the airstrike. Several sources claimed the explosion type to be originating from an Israeli aircraft.

From the al-Zatmeh family, 35-year-old Imad Faraj al-Zatmeh and his wife 34-year-old Islam Nayef al-Zatmeh were killed, along with their children 10-year-old Hala Imad al-Zatmeh, 13-year-old Muhammad Imad al-Zatmeh, 2-year-old Ahmed Imad al-Zatmeh, and 11-year-old Ibrahim Imad al-Zatmeh. Imad’s sister, 28-year-old Hanan Faraj al-Zatmeh was also killed, along with her husband 32-year-old Ahmed Essam Salah and their children 9-year-old Essam Ahmed Salah, 3-year-old Retal Ahmed Salah, less than a year old Abdul Rahman Ahmed Salah and 2-year-old Nada Ahmed Salah.

Images shared on social media showed the mother of Imad and Hanan Faraj al-Zatmeh, Ibtisam al-Zatmeh, crouched over the bodies of her children, covered in white shroud on the ground, after she had heard about the strike on her home while working at the Emirati maternity hospital.

In a Facebook post, Muhammad Abdel Aziz mourned his cousins, 12-year-old Raghad Farid Ghoneim, 8-year-old Layan Farid Ghoneim, and 5-year-old Karam Farid Ghoneim, reporting they were “killed in a bombing on a house next to them.” Images shared by a page for the Ghoneim family show the children smiling while posing for photos.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

All of the names have been reconciled with published Palestinian Ministry of Health lists with thanks to journalist Alexandre Horn from CheckNews for identifying relevant sources, and Data Tech for Palestine for centralising the datasets.

Airwars assessment

Shortly before 8:00 PM on Monday, October 23rd, 2023, an Israeli aircraft allegedly bombed the Abu Taqiyya family home located in the Al-Shuhada area, west of the Jabalia camp, killing at least one civilian, paramedic Jihad Abu Taqiyya, and injuring four of his children: Esraa, Mariam, Muhammed, and Abood.

Shehab Agency was the first to report on the incident, sharing images of the rescue effort amidst the rubble around the severely damaged building. Safa News quoted the Ministry of the Interior in Gaza saying that a number of killed and wounded were recovered.

Several news sources, including Al Jazeera, reported that several injured civilians were recovered from under the rubble and shared images of the house that appeared  destroyed. According to Quds News, there were still wounded under the rubble the morning following the alleged attack. Facebook user Mohammed Ahmad posted several videos where many neighbors can be seen taking part in the rescue efforts on site.

@ShehabAgency and Watan reported the death of Jihad Abu Taqiyya on October 31st as a result of the injuries sustained in the bombing.

Umm Al-Abd Asma, Jihad’s wife, mourned her husband’s death in a deeply felt Facebook post, where she also described her experience on the night of the alleged strike: “We were sitting safely with our children in our homes. We found the house falling on us and was destroyed and turned into ashes. The house that I lived in for only two years after 16 years of torment, poverty, hunger, and deprivation.”

She also shared details about the severe injuries of her children: “My daughter, Israa, had her leg amputated, my son Muhammad, his legs are platinum. Maryam still has not recovered from the operations. She came back and injured her legs, and every day she sleeps and wakes up screaming in pain😭.”

A few days later she shared a video of her very young injured child on another post, where she wrote: “My son was in intensive care in Al-Shifa [hospital] for 13 days, and they took him out when they stormed Al-Shifa, and then they transferred him to Al-Rantisi [hospital], and Al-Rantisi was destroyed, while I and my son were there. He and I miraculously got out, and then I strayed from there to the Indonesian [hospital], and they also stormed the Indonesian, and we got out miraculously, and we were transferred to Khan Yunis, Nasser Hospital, and the situation was very difficult, all night long, with fire belts and terrible bombing.

Airwars was not able to reconcile Jihad Abu Taqiyya’s name with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of names, released October 26th 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured at approximately 7:56 pm local time.

Airwars assessment

On the evening of Sunday, October 22nd 2023, at least four civilians were killed and 18 others, including more than 15 children, were reportedly injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike that bombed Al-Zinati’s house in the Al-Amal neighbourhood, in the west of Khan Yunis, in the central Gaza Strip.

This incident resulted in the deaths of several civilians, including 32-year-old Hisham Musa Al-Zinati and his five-year-old son, Malik Hisham Al-Zinati. Hisham’s brother, Ahmad Musa Al-Zinati and his wife, Noor al-Madhoun, were injured in the incident, and their two children, Khaled Ahmed Al-Zinati (4 years old) and Musa Ahmed Al-Zinati (2 years old) were killed. Kareem Musa Al-Zinati and Hisham Musa al-Zinati’s wife were also injured in the incident.

According to the Fatah Media and Culture Commission, 18 civilians were injured because of the bombing of the family home. Palestine Now further reported that more than 15 children were injured in the alleged Israeli bombing.

Shehab Agency reported that two of the victims killed were pulled from the rubble.

In a series of images posted by Palestine Now and the photographer, Amr Tabash, at least ten different children can be seen arriving and being treated at Nasser Hospital, many of them carried in, some crying and others limp.

Amr Tabash also posted a video of Malik Hisham al-Zinati’s body arriving at Nasser Hospital in an ambulance, he can be seen wrapped in a blanket and being held by a paramedic.

Images from the burials of the victims were also shared by Amr Tabash, their family members gathered around their shrouded bodies, weeping. Multiple victims had their faces uncovered as their family members said their final goodbyes.

Following the incident, friends and family shared their farewells for those who were killed in the incident. In a Facebook post dedicated to Hisham Musa Al-Zainat, Ahmed Al-Sini stated, “You are a person with a kind, clean and respectful heart. You and your son Malik and all your family are in Paradise. God Almighty, I love you, I love you, I love you.” Ahmed Al-Sini also posted images of himself and Hisham together and an image of Hisham with his son Malik. Prayers were shared on Facebook by Ahmed Al-Zinti, who named each of those killed and asked: “God to forgive them, have mercy on them, and place them in His spacious gardens”.

Khaled and Musa’s uncle, Ebrahim Zeyad, shared images of the young brothers from when they were alive, calling them “beloved of your uncle’s heart” and asking others to pray for their mother, his sister Noor al-Madhoun.

Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military.

Airwars assessment

On the 22nd of October, 2023, at least 24 civilians, including a number of women and children, were killed, and at least 27 others, including at least four children, were injured when an alleged Israeli bombardment hit two houses: that of the Qadous family and that of the Abu Saada family in the Al-Ternis area in the middle of the Jabalia refugee camp, north of the Gaza Strip. Victims included 20 members of the Qadous family across three generations and at least four members of the Al-Derin Family.

The patriarch of the Qadous family, Omar Hashem Qadous was killed with his wife, Ikram Qadous, and several of their children. A son, Muhammad Omar Qadous, was killed, as were three daughters: Amal Omar Qadous, 36-year old Tahani Omar Qadous al-Ajrami, and 40-year old Hanan Omar Qadous Haboub.

Muhammad’s wife, Maysaa Qadous Shalayil, was also killed, as were their two sons, 8-year old Fouad Muhammad Qadous and Abdul Hakim Muhammad Qadous.

Hanan was killed with her two sons: 13-year old Samer Rabie Haboub and 10-year old Abdullah Rabie Haboub.

Amal’s daughter, three-year old Malak Ismail Haboub, was also killed.

Tahani’s 15-year old son, Sarah al-Ajrami, was killed with her.

Another family member, Ahmed Qadous, was killed, as were several of Omar and Ikram’s grandchildren: 20-year old Abdullah al-Zinati was killed, as were grandsons Muhammad and Hassan. Marya, Tayma, and Dina, their three granddaughters, were killed as well.

Along with members of the Qadous family, civilians from the al-Derini family were also killed. Um Nidal al-Derini was killed, as was her daughter-in-law Hala Kassab al-Derini, and granddaughter, one-year old Nour Ahmed al-Derini. Another family member, Yazan Nidal al-Derini was also killed.

Lower initial death tolls were reported in the immediate aftermath of the strike. Photos shared on social media depict ambulance and civil defence crews on-site rushing the dead and the wounded to the Indonesian Hospital for treatment. A young boy can be seen crying while receiving medical attention, and multiple other images showcase children in tears. Another image shows a confused-looking man gesturing while a doctor tends to a wound on his head. A very graphic photograph shared by Facebook user Medhat Muhammad shows a medic carrying a young girl into hospital; limp in his arms, her face and hair are completely bloodied. Images of the deceased were also included in the post: one shows the same girl laying on a bed next to a young boy, whose right arm had been severed. Another image, shared by user “Meet Basmala Muhammad”, showed a young boy who had lost both his legs in the strike.

Confusion on the ground led to initial disparity in casualty figures. Shehab Agency and Al-Rased News initially reported 11 deaths and 27 injuries. East Now later reported at least 18 deaths and dozens of injuries. Friends and family on Social Media subsequently identified dead loved ones, bringing the casualties to at least 24. Facebook user Mahammad al-Madhoud reported a total of 30 deaths but this has not yet been verified elsewhere.

Friends and family wrote heartfelt messages to their loved ones on social media. Facebook user “Alaa or Moaz” praised Maysaa Shalayil for her work memorising the Quran, and expressed hope that she and her family would be honoured by God “with the highest paradise.”

Ezzedine Zaquote shared a photo of Ahmed Qadous, smiling at the camera in a white polo and wrote: “Good luck, my dear. This is how you followed your friend, Muhammad Arouq. God willing, you will be happy together in Paradise, my love. May God bless you. I hope you will be with me, my eyes. Martyr Ahmed Qadous.”

Facebook user Israa shared a video of a man on his knees weeping as he rocked a young baby in his arms. The child, identified as Nour al-Darini, can be seen with dust from the strike and blood clearly visible on her head. A post from Facebook user Kareem El-Meligy identified Nour as one year old. She had been born, the post alleged, on October 23rd, 2022, making her exactly a year old at her time of death.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Airwars assessment

On Sunday evening October 22nd, 2023, at least 48 civilians, including at least 24 children and 11 women, were killed and at least three children were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the house of Dr. Khaled al-Bayaa, located west of Nuseirat camp in the Gaza Strip. Dr. al-Bayaa was killed alongside his wife, their eight children and six grandchildren, and was survived by only two of his grandchildren, Dareen and Kenan. Ten children were reported missing after the strike.

The bombing was first reported just before 9pm, and was said to have resulted in injuries and numerous casualties, with reports indicating that dozens of victims, including fatalities, were trapped under the rubble in the hours following the strike. Urgent appeals were made through various sources, including the Shehab Agency and Abdul Rahman al-Abadla, calling for ambulances and civil defense to assist in the aftermath of the attack. A Twitter/X user @HaidarAkarar wrote that the civilans who were killed and wounded were rushed to were rushed to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

The victims were all identified as members of the Al-Bayaa family. Relatives and friends shared messages online mourning the loss of their loved ones.

The incident prompted expressions of grief from the community, with posts mourning the deaths of family members, including children. A comprehensive list of names was provided by the Facebook user Ayman Salama, detailing the individuals who lost their lives in the bombing, as well as those injured. Ayman Salama added that ten children were missing.

61-year Dr. Khaled Saeed Salamah al-Bayaa was killed alongside his wife, 56-year old A’mal Ghulam Al-Din al-Bayaa, their eight children and six grandchildren. Specifically, the couple lost their 35-year old son Mohamed Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa,  30-year old son Hamed Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa, 21-year old son Hassan Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa, and 19-year old son Salah Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa as well as four daughters: Sumaya Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa (40), Heba Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa Kabaja (37), Iman Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa (possibly 28), and Amina Khaled Saeed al-Bayaa.

Hamed Khaled Al-Bayaa was remembered in the Facebook testimonies by Anas Saidam and Ahmed Al-Deraw who called him their brother and friend. He is seen in the images below as a young smiling man with his son and with a friend.

Among the grandchildren, two sons of Mohammed al-Bayaa — 11-year old Suhaib Mohammed Khaled al-Bayaa and 13-year old Khaled Mohammad Khaled al-Bayaa — were killed along with their sisters, Mohammed’s daughters — Amal Mohammad Khaled al-Bayaa (possibly 9-10) and 2-year old Tuleen Muhammad Khaled al-Bayaa. Among the grandchildren of Khaled and Amal who were killed were also two of Hamid’s children: his son Karam Hamid Khaled al-Bayaa (4) and daughter Carmel Hamid Khaled al-Bayaa (2).

58-year old Walid Saeed Salamah al-Bayaa and his wife 54/55-year old Itidal Ghulam al-Din al-Bayaa were killed along with their two sons, Ahmed Walid Saeed al-Bayaa (possibly 22-23), Anas Walid Saeed al-Bayaa and daughter Hanaa Walid Saeed al-Bayaa (22). Their son Kenan Anas Walid al-Bayaa (child) and 11-year old daughter Dareen Anas Walid al-Bayaa were injured.

A’mal Al-Bayaa and Itidal Ghulam al-Din al-Bayaa’s two sisters, Hiyam Ghulam al-Din al-Hindi al-Sayeed (50) and Khitam Ghulam al-Din al-Hindi, were also killed.

According to a tweet by the New York Times, eleven-year-old Dareen al-Bayaa, a survivor, lost dozens of her family members in the airstrike. Dareen survived along with her brother Kenan, but lost her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts. In a video shared by user Nuha (devotedly.yours) on Tiktok, the injured Dareen was telling her story in tears. A small scar on her cheek and a large scar on her forehead could be seen.

Dareen said that her mother, her father, both of her grandmothers and grandfathers Khaled and Anas were killed while they were staying in their house, and only she and her brother survived. She added that Israeli forces did not tell civilians to evacuate and bombed them while they were staying in the house.

The attack also took the lives of the late Hanaa’s husband, Saher Saeed al-Sayed (29), his brother Ahmed Saeed al-Sayed (12), and the children of Hana and Saher, two daughters Najma Saher al-Sayed (3) and Maymouna Saher al-Sayed, possibly less than a year old. According to the list by Ayman Salam, Najma and Maymouna were both children.

Saher, Ahmed and Hana and their children were mentioned in the condolence message posted on Facebook by the brother of Saher and Ahmed, Taher Saeed Al-Sayed. He attached some images of the victims to his post. They were also mentioned in a tribute written by Maher El Sayed.

A cousin of the Facebook user Izzeddin Khaled, Hossam Walid Kabaja, was killed along with his two daughters Rahaf Hossam Walid Kabaja (possibly 15-16) and Sama Hossam Walid Kabaja. Both girls have been described as under 18. His son Walid Hossam Walid Kabaja (possibly 8-9), and brother Abdul Aziz Walid Kabaja (possibly 18-19) were also killed. Hossam’s daughter, Roa Hossam Walid Kabaja (13) was reported as injured but due to the inclusion of their name in the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities, they likely died from their injuries. Izzeddin Khaled wrote his tribute to the late Hossam and his family.

Izzeddin Khaled also mentioned his other cousin, Muhammad Muhammad Ahmed Bahr who was killed along with his three sons: Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Bahr, Moamen Muhammad Ahmed Bahr, and Mahmoud Muhammad Ahmed Bahr, and his two daughters: Moslima Muhammad Ahmed Bahr (possibly 15-16) and Mona Muhammad Ahmed Bahr. All of them except Mona were under the age of 18. He also mentioned that Mona’s children were killed. Presumably her children were the two twin girls, Farah Hammam Youssef Bahr and Marah Hammam Youssef Bahr. Both girls were possibly under a year old.

Among the victims killed were also four siblings: 7-year-old Malik Ahmed al-Shayah, Miral Ahmed al-Shayah, 5-year-old Nesma Ahmed al-Shayah, and Muhammad Ahmed al-Shayah.

Social media testimonies mentioned a child Walid Anas al-Bayaa (possibly 8-9), Safaa Talal al-Bayaa (possibly 32-33) and a 56-year-old woman Amal Muhammad Ghulam al-Din al-Bayaa among the killed, and a child Areej Abdullah Salim Abdeen among the injured.

Some of those killed were reportedly family members of Hamas Commander Abu Hamza al-Hindi who appeared to have been killed in a separate incident. In a photograph from Facebook user Maher El Sayed, he can be seen with a gun. Another individual, younger looking than al-Hindi, appears to be in police uniform. As this is not an indication of militant status, Airwars has not included a belligerent in our range – though we will update this should further information come to light.

Airwars was able to identify the names of 47 people killed in the strike, however a post from Abu Ismail Al-Bayaa identified “more than 70 martyrs” in the attack on their uncle Khaled’s house. The upper casualty range has therefore been estimated as 71 fatalities.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023. Other ages have come from the Shireen fatalities list; some of these specify different dates of death, though the names are exactly the same. In this case, ages have been marked as “possibly.” It is possible their deaths were discovered on this later date, or that they had been buried under rubble until then.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured at approximately 8:30 pm local time.

Location

منزل عائلة الغوطي في حي الجنينة, Al-Ghouti family home in the Al-Geneina neighborhood, Rafah, the Gaza Strip

Airwars assessment

On Sunday, October 22nd, 2023, in the Rafah Governorate, south of the Gaza Strip, an alleged daytime Israeli airstrike resulted in the death of three members of the Al-Ghouti family – two women and a child – at their home at Al-Geneina neighborhood. A number of others were wounded, including the husband and children of Dr. Hadeel Al-Jamal. An unknown female was also reported as being killed in the strike.

The casualties were reported as a five-year-old girl named Maria Muhammad Tayseer Al-Ghouti, a nine-year-old boy named Tayseer Muhammad Tayseer Al-Ghouti, and a woman named Hanaa Ziad Rizq Al-Ghouti. An image posted by Talat Barhoum showed an “unknown martyr from the bombing of Al-Ghouti” along with an ask if anyone knows her. It was unclear if she was later identified as one of the named deceased victims listed above.

In addition to the fatalities, it was reported by multiple sources (ShehabAgency, Gaza – Moment by Moment, Qudsn_Brk, and @K_a_p_s_o_l_a) that ¨dozens¨ more sustained injuries. Photographs taken from the scene by Mahmoud Bassem depicted a large civilian-led rescue effort with multiple casualties (mostly women and children) being lifted out of the destroyed home. Photos posted by Ismael Mohamad showed a woman being rescued from the rubble by paramedics – suggesting that official rescue teams made it to the scene to provide assistance.

The injured were swiftly transported to Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital for treatment. In images posted by Ahmed Al-Hakim which were taken from inside the hospital, at least nine visibly distressed children can be seen receiving medical attention. News outlet Vetogate reported on the details of the chaotic scene, where one of the doctors, Hadeel Al-Jamal, was said to have collapsed upon hearing that her injured husband and children were victims of the blast and had arrived at the hospital in ambulances. She was heard asking for Adam, Basma, and Ahmed – her family members.

Alarabiya Palestine spoke with children from the Al-Ghouti family who described the moment of the strike: “We were playing and then we didn’t hear anything. Then came the knock.”

Official statements from the Ministry of the Interior of Gaza confirmed the incident, identifying the Al-Ghouti family in Rafah Governorate as the victims. An outpouring of grief on social media followed a post from the Al-Ghouti family council and youth group that confirmed the identities of their deceased family members. Al-Manar Model Kindergarten – Rafah also posted a condolence message for the child Maria Muhammad Tayseer Al-Ghouti – who was one of their students – along with images of her at school.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.
