On October 10, 2025, 21-year-old Muhannad Mamdouh Khader Farwana (Abu Bilal) was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Gaza City.

Following news of the incident, friends and family took to social media to mourn the loss of Muhannad. In a heartfelt tribute to the 21-year-old, Waseem Raef Safi recalled how the two had met at school and how kind the young man was. In the post he lamented how his death had left “an indescribable pain in [his] heart and unforgettable memories.”

In a similar tribute to his friend, Mosab Mamdouh, recalled how “Muhannad was not just a brother, but a pillar of support, a kind soul, and a voice that will never fade from our hearts. His body has departed, but his spirit will remain alive within us, in every prayer, in every memory, and in every moment we long for him.”

Muhannad’s name was found in the Genocide in Gaza (GiGaza) database, which stated that he was killed among “several other civilians”, putting the maximum killed at three.

Gigaza reported that Muhannad was killed in Gaza City. Similarly, a post shared by Jamal Awni Farwana connected Muhannad to Gaza City. The post also referred to the killing of a man named Nabil Abdul Hamed Farwana – likely a relative of Muhannad’s. However, the post refers to Nabil as being connected to Khan Younis, as does Nabil’s GiGaza page. As such, Nabil’s death has been recorded in a different incident (ISPT101025ha). This will be updated should additional information become available.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces. According to Genocide in Gaza, the strike(s) occurred without prior warning.

With hearts resigned to God's will and decree, and with tearful eyes and grieving hearts, we bid farewell today to our beloved brother, *The heroic martyr, Muhannad Mamdouh Farwana (Abu Bilal)*, who ascended to martyrdom in the cause of homeland and dignity. Muhannad was not just a brother, but a pillar of support, a kind soul, and a voice that will never fade from our hearts. His body has departed, but his spirit will remain alive within us, in every prayer, in every memory, and in every moment we long for him. We consider him among the martyrs with God, and we ask God to grant him the highest Paradise and to inspire us with patience and solace. Farewell, Abu Bilal, may you dwell in the Gardens of Eternity, God willing. We will never forget you, and you will remain alive within us as long as we live.

بقلوب مؤمنة بقضاء الله وقدره، وبعيون دامعة وقلوب مكلومة، نودّع اليوم أخي الحبيب *الشهيد البطل مهند ممدوح فروانة (أبو بلال)* الذي ارتقى شهيدًا في سبيل الوطن والكرامة. مهند لم يكن مجرد أخ، بل كان سندًا، روحًا طيبة، وصوتًا لا يغيب عن القلب. رحل جسده، لكن روحه ستبقى حيّة فينا، في كل دعاء، في كل ذكرى، وفي كل لحظة نشتاق فيها إليه. نحتسبه عند الله من الشهداء، ونسأل الله أن يرزقه الفردوس الأعلى، وأن يلهمنا الصبر والسلوان. وداعًا يا أبو بلال، إلى جنات الخلد بإذن الله. لن ننساك، وستظل حيًا فينا ما حيينا.

With a heart wracked with pain and sorrow, O God, how difficult it is for me to mourn you, my beloved, even the words are difficult for me to utter. My beloved, my companion on this journey, has ascended to the highest heavens. My brother, Muhannad Mamdouh Farwana, on the land of Gaza. To God we belong and to Him we shall return. You were truthful, so you preceded and joined your loved ones. Abu Muhannad, Abu Yahya, Abu Al-Walid Sufficient for us is God, and He is the best Disposer of affairs. O Lord, grant us patience.
