• Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV confirmed his death on Sunday after he was found shot in the head in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.
• Al Jazeera reported he was shot while reporting on the clashes and was wearing a press flak jacket, with footage circulating online.
• Local accounts pointed to fighting between Hamas security forces and the Doghmush clan, while a Gaza Interior official described the assailants as an armed militia affiliated with the Israeli occupation, with no independent verification of blame.
• Aljafarawi, 28, rose to prominence with pro-Hamas war videos and had previously been the subject of false death reports.
• He had recently faced local accusations of misusing donations, and his death follows a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal that have left Gaza’s security situation volatile.
