Resolution criteria:
(I would appreciate advice on a more objective resolution criteria and will update the criteria accordingly)
I will not bet in this market.
I will make a judgement based on arguments in the comments and a critical reading of many sources, including the following:
Post war report from amnesty international
Eg: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde21/1178/2015/en/
Findings from Isreal's Military Advocate General's Corps
More about them here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Advocate_General
Official Palestinian reports
Offical reports from other governments
Market resolution goes based on what I expect the median informed, intelligent person reading the same evidence would come away with.
If I judge there is not a preponderance of evidence pointing one way or another, I'll resolve NA.
I would appreciate recommendations of other high quality sources to add to the list.

Is there a substantive claim under dispute, or just details of one specific bombing? https://www.npr.org/2023/11/17/1213579692/israel-gaza-evacuation-south-attacks

@YairHalberstadt6519 yeah forgot to include that.

@Daniel_MC This will probably resolve N/A or no, most likely N/A, seems very unlikely to resolve yes in any case.

Guardian
"A convoy of vehicles carrying fleeing civilians in Gaza that was hit by a deadly airstrike was travelling on one of the two roads identified by the Israeli army as “safe routes” to the southern half of the strip, according to analysis."
"The Forensic Architecture investigative unit at the Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq used aerial photos and social media posts to geolocate the site of the strike, sharing its findings with the Guardian. The BBC’s Verify unit came to the same conclusion."
ABC (Australian public broadcaster)
"both Hamas and the Israeli military have blamed each other for a blast which killed many civilians.
On October 13, an estimated 70 Palestinians who were trying to evacuate south were killed in an explosion on the Israeli-designated "safe route" out of northern Gaza."
"The Israeli military responded with an allegation that the explosion was a roadside bomb but used different video from another location to substantiate its claim."
