Palestinian Influencer ‘Mr. FAFO’ Reported Killed in Gaza City Clashes

Reports attribute the shooting to rival militants during factional violence that followed an Israeli pullback under a ceasefire.

Overview

  • Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV and multiple outlets reported that Saleh Al‑Jafarawi was found dead from a gunshot wound in the Sabra area of Gaza City.
  • Palestinian sources said he was shot while covering fighting between Hamas security forces and anti-Hamas gunmen, with some reports naming the Doghmush clan.
  • Footage cited by Al Jazeera showed him wearing a press flak jacket on the back of a truck, and local accounts said he had been missing since Sunday morning.
  • The clashes followed an Israeli withdrawal tied to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and hostage exchange, and a Gaza interior official described the rival militia as linked to the Israeli occupation.
  • Al‑Jafarawi, known online as “Mr. FAFO,” was a polarizing figure accused of misusing donations and previously subject to false death reports; some online skeptics questioned the new accounts as others, including Rama Duwaji, posted tributes.
