Blogger who documented life in Gaza killed in alleged Israeli strike
A blogger who attracted a following on Instagram and TikTok by documenting daily life in Gaza has been killed in a strike.
Mohammad 'Medo' Halimy, 20, was hit by shrapnel from a nearby blast caused by an Israeli missile in Khan Younis on Monday, according to two youth organisations he had previously worked with.
The Tamer Institute for Community Education told the BBC that Halimy was in an area near the beach where displaced people have sheltered when he was fatally struck.
The IDF told the BBC it could not confirm a strike took place in Khan Younis on Monday, but said it was continuing to "counter threats while persisting to mitigate harm to civilians" in Gaza.
