"Unidentified martyr, chubby and tall, wearing a raspberry-colored & black tracksuit." - Gaza, 2024.
His name was Yasser Mamdouh Al-Fadi, he was a journalist. He was shot by an IOF sniper on 11-02 inside Nasser Hospital & was buried in a mass grave at the hospital during the seige.
The IOF bulldozed the graves of dozens of martyrs later on, rendering them unrecognizable.
He was injured while covering Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 & was injured again while covering the return marches in 2018.
This morning in Motaz's stories he said the IOF have killed all the journalists who had drones so they are no longer able to show the massive scale of destruction as easily as they did before. I don't believe this is accidental especially after watching the day IOF hacked Motaz's drone and took it. Just another fowl attempt to hide the truth from the world.
A few screenshots from his stories today:
If what we can see is already bad, can you imagine what new aerial shots would show? Can you imagine how much we aren't seeing thanks to the continued disruption to internet connection?
They killed the olive trees. They killed the little children. They killed the unborn. They killed the father. They killed the mother. They killed the journalist. They killed the journalists entire family. They killed all the aunts and uncles. They killed the doctors. They killed the soul of his soul. They killed the groom. They killed the bride. They killed the cats. They killed the elderly people older than their apartheid state. They killed the thousands of memories painted on the walls. They killed 30,000+ Palestinians that we will never get back. [@/ missfalsteenia on X. 01/07/24.]

Islam Bassam Barbari will be hosting a livestream event on Instagram tonight at 7 pm ET/21 GMT.
This is a great opportunity for people to learn about life in north Gaza from the people who are living it, and especially to support the work of Islam and other people who are documenting the genocide.
Please attend if you have the time. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can create one for free with any valid email address. I will try to record the session and post it afterward, but I have limited digital memory, and for some reason it is also very difficult for me to upload videos to Tumblr, so I can’t make any promises. Hence, attending personally is best.
