In a devastating attack on October 31, 2023, the Israeli bombing of the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of more than 100 civilians, with the U.K.-based watchdog Airwars identifying 116 named victims. The attack, targeting "just one guy," has been condemned as a war crime and has heightened global calls for an immediate cease-fire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Airwars, which monitors civilian casualties in military conflicts, has described the event as the "most named victims we have ever monitored in a single event." The group's analysis revealed that among the 116 named civilians killed, there were 10 cases in which multiple family members perished. Shockingly, three of these cases involved entire families being wiped out. The estimated civilian death toll from the strike is between 126 and 136, including 69 children.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the bombings, claiming their intention was to target "a very senior Hamas commander." IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari identified Ibrahim Biari, commander of Central Jabaliya Battalion, as the intended target. He stated that Biari had been leading fighting in northern Gaza from a network of tunnels under the refugee camp.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem denied the presence of any senior commander in the camp, dismissing the claim as an Israeli pretext for killing civilians. Ahmad al-Kahlout, a spokesperson for the Hamas-controlled Gaza Interior Ministry, condemned the attack, stating, "These buildings house hundreds of citizens. The occupation's air force destroyed this district with six U.S.-made bombs. It is the latest massacre caused by Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip."

The IDF spokesperson, Hagari, revealed that the specific details about the munitions used and the number of craters caused by the attack would be provided at a later date. Visual analysis by The Guardian, however, shows at least five craters in the densely populated refugee camp believed to have been caused by the use of multiple JDAMs (joint direct attack munitions) in the airstrike.

While the exact number of militants killed in the attack remains ambiguous, Airwars has applied a 12-24 combatant casualty range to account for statements mentioning "dozens" of targets killed. The Israeli military claims to have killed "scores" of militants alongside Biari.

Following the Israeli bombing, renewed heavy shelling targeted residential homes in the Jabalia refugee camp, putting the remaining population at further risk. Disturbing footage showed survivors desperately digging through the rubble to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones.

The international community has condemned Israel's actions, including the strikes on Jabalia, as war crimes. Experts have labeled Israel's response to the Hamas-led attack as a "genocidal" war. Throughout the ongoing conflict, thousands of civilians have been killed or injured, and civilian infrastructure has been destroyed, resulting in the displacement of approximately three-quarters of the population.

As the casualties continue to mount and the humanitarian situation deteriorates, calls for a cease-fire have intensified on a global scale. The urgency to end the violence and protect the lives of innocent civilians has become a matter of utmost importance for the international community.
