Airwars assessment

Shortly before 10:35 am on the 15th of October 2024, five humanitarian aid security personnel were reported injured by an alleged Israeli drone strike on the Al-Mashrou’ area, east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Safa PS initially reported at 10:35 am that there were five injuries as a result of the reported drone strike and that aid security personnel were reportedly hit.

Multiple sources circulated the same information about the incident. There was no further information provided about those who were injured or any damage caused.

Due to the repetitive nature of the information from the sources, Airwars has graded the strike status of the incident as “single source claim” and the civilian harm status as “weak.”

The incident occured in the morning.
