1.- Saleh Al Jafarawi was a 28-year-old journalist from Gaza. He reported on the reality of life on the streets and was also a social media influencer, very popular with millions of followers, with accounts on Instagram: @saleh_aljafarawi_m, and on TikTok: @saleh_aljafarawi97
2.- His parents lived in Gaza City. He had two brothers, Naji, the eldest, and Ali, the youngest, and three sisters, Maysa, Israa, and Ismeel. He studied at the Islamic University and obtained a degree in media and journalism in 2019. He was very fond of table tennis and won a championship in 2023.
3.- He began producing content in 2018 during the Great March of Return, where he worked as a freelance journalist and photographer for social media platforms. He was wounded four times during the demonstrations by the IOF and had to walk with crutches.
4.- Tenía un sentimiento religioso profundo, que se expresaba desde pequeño en sus relaciones con los demás y lo hacía ser querido por todos. Sabía de memoria el Corán, lo recitaba y cantaba en muchas publicaciones.
5.- His family had to move several times due to Israeli bombings, but he wanted to remain in northern Gaza. He was a friend of journalist Anas Al Sharif. He was wounded in the evacuation of Nasser Hospital by drones, along with other doctors and journalist Mohammed Salama. His older brother was detained by Israel.
6.- Like other journalists, Israel had placed him among its targets to be killed. On October 12, 2025, a few days after Israel's false ceasefire declaration, the Doghmush clan, a band of mercenaries paid by Israel, shot and killed him in the Al Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.
