Airwars assessment

Shortly before 7:40 AM on the 7th of November 2024, an Israeli quadcopter aircraft (drone) allegedly dropped explosive bombs on the gate of the Halima al-Sadia School sheltering displaced civilians in Jabalia al-Nazla, Jabalia camp, in the North of Gaza, reportedly resulting in several wounded Palestinian civilians.

Several media outlets, such as @PalinfoAr, @Qudsn_Brk, and @Sa7atPl, reported the incident on Twitter/X at 7:40 AM, marking the information as “urgent.” Therefore, the attack likely happened shortly before this time.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military. However, while many sources reported the incident, including news outlets like Roua News, AlQahera News, or the Palestinian Press Agency, all of them included the same information. In light of this, the strike status of this incident has been graded as a “single source claim,” and the Airwars civilian harm grading as “weak”.

Moreover, the exact number of civilians injured was not specified, and the victims remained unidentified.

The incident occured at approximately 7:40 am local time.
