Hundreds of online tributes have been left for a content creator known for sharing videos on social media about his life in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s war with Hamas.
Medo Halimy, 19, died after he was hit by shrapnel during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis on Monday, several of his friends told NBC News.
Halimy's collaborator Talal Murad, 18, said in an Instagram message Thursday that he was catching up with his friend when he saw “a flash coming from above my head and followed by an explosion.”
“We did everything together, we laughed, we cried, we walked for hours continuously, we ran a business together, but sadly we didn’t die together,” he said.
