Prominent Palestinian activist Saleh al-Jafarawi killed by armed militia in Gaza City

Prominent Palestinian activist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who was known for documenting Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, was killed late on Sunday whilst reporting on armed hostilities in Gaza City, Al Jazeera reported.

The Qatar based broadcaster reported that Jafarawi was shot dead by an armed militia in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, as he covered clashes between an Israel-backed entity and Hamas fighters.

Al Jazeera reported that several displaced Palestinians were also killed during the clashes, with the armed group seeking to exploit the security vaccuum in the city following Friday's historic announcement that Israel and Hamas had approved a deal to "end the war" and exchange prisoners. 

"Every day is a new loss and a new goodbye, another sadness - even though the Israeli military has stopped this war but what is left from this army and the betrayal of some people," Mohamed Shahen, a Gaza-based journalist, said in reference to the Gaza gangs, as he shared a video of the lifeless body of the activist.
