Overview

  • Local Gaza media reported on Sunday that Saleh al-Jafarawi was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
  • Some accounts attribute the shooting to clashes in Gaza City between Hamas forces and the Doghmush clan, a heavily armed faction hostile to Hamas.
  • Images and video circulating online purport to show his body, though the authenticity and circumstances have not been independently confirmed.
  • Al-Jafarawi gained wartime notoriety for videos that included praise for Hamas rocket attacks on October 7, 2023, followed by later clips showing fear during Israeli strikes.
  • He had been accused of diverting donations raised for Gaza residents to himself, and previous reports of his death and hospital images circulated earlier in the conflict.
