Saleh al-Jafarawi, a popular Palestinian influencer who documented the war in Gaza, but also celebrated the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, was killed on Monday in clashes between Hamas and other Palestinian factions, according to reports.

Jafarawi’s death was cheered by many Israelis, who saw him as a Hamas propagandist, though many pro-Palestinian activists mourned him — including the wife of New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.

Rama Duwaji shared an Instagram story about “beloved Jafarawi, with four broken heart emojis.
