US EditionProminent Palestinian activist Saleh al-Jafarawi killed by armed militia in Gaza City
Saleh Al-Jafarawi was fatally shot by an armed militia amid clashes in Gaza City shortly after a ceasefire; over 270 media workers have died in Gaza since October 2023, IFJ reported.
- On Sunday, Saleh Al-Jafarawi, Palestinian journalist and social media personality, was killed while reporting amid clashes between Hamas security forces and an armed militia in Sabra neighbourhood, Gaza City.
- Local sources say the fighting pitted Hamas security forces against the Doghmush clan , which multiple officials alleged was backed by Israeli forces.
- Eyewitnesses described a close-range shooting that left Al-Jafarawi fatally wounded, with some reports saying he was struck by seven bullets, while Sanad agency footage showed his body wearing a `press` flak jacket.
- Gaza's media office condemned the killing as part of continued targeting of journalists, while Gaza local authorities and security forces later regained control after clashes that left several dead and wounded during ceasefire preparations for Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh summit.
- Given his large online following and two years of frontline reporting, Al-Jafarawi's death intensifies concerns as more than 270 media workers have been killed in Gaza amid over 238,000 Palestinian casualties, the International Federation of Journalists reported.
