Sourced did not identify the belligerent, but Airwars has matched the name of the civilian killed with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023, which explicitly mentions that names on the list are “victims of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip”. Therefore, the Strike Status for this incident has been graded as a Single Source Claim and the Civilian Harm Status was graded as Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[767],"belligerent":[438],"strike_type":[432],"cause_of_death":[448],"targeted_belligerents":[],"strike_status":[833],"civilian_harm_reported":[834],"civilian_harm_status":[837],"belligerent_assessment":[],"geolocation_assessor":[911],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[924],"observation":[],"munition":[],"casualty":[957],"impact":[],"documentation":[],"citation":[],"geolocation_observation":[],"protected_persons":[],"infrastructure":[1022],"infrastructure_affiliation":[],"infrastructure_declared_target":[],"infrastructure_destruction":[],"profession":[],"casualty_affiliation":[],"class_list":["post-97550","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-the-gaza-strip","belligerent-israeli-military","strike_type-airstrike-and-or-artillery","cause_of_death-heavy-weapons-and-explosive-munitions","strike_status-single-source-claim","civilian_harm_reported-yes","civilian_harm_status-fair","geolocation_assessor-rowena-silva","declassified_document-no","geolocation_status-complete","casualty-men","infrastructure-residential"],"acf":{"latitude":"","longitude":"","geolocation_accuracy":"","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":[{"latitude":31.307314,"longitude":34.360372,"geolocation_accuracy":"town","primary_coordinate":true}],"geojson":"","show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":null,"geolocation_notes":"Reports of the incident mention the town of Khuza\u2019a (\u062e\u0632\u0627\u0639\u0629), for which the generic coordinates are: 31.307314, 34.360372.
