    Not sure if this has been shared before, but I was especially sad to read it. Lots of people had some kind of connection with Medo through watching his videos, one more outrageous murder....

    It was another day of war in Gaza, another day of what 19-year-old Palestinian TikTok star Medo Halimy called his “Tent Life.”

    They snapped a selfie — “Finally Reunited” Halimy captioned it on Instagram — and started catching up.

    Then came a flash of light, 18-year-old Murad said, an explosion of white heat and sprayed earth. Murad felt pain in his neck. Halimy was bleeding from his head. A car on the coastal road in front of them was engulfed in flames, the apparent target of an Israeli airstrike. It took 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Hours later doctors pronounced Halimy dead.

    Not sure if this has been shared before, but I was especially sad to read it. Lots of people had some kind of connection with Medo through watching his videos, one more outrageous murder.
