On Sunday, May 12th 2024, 30-year-old Abdelrahman Fouad Ahmad Madi was killed by gunfire from an alleged Israeli quadcopter in the Khirbat Al Adas area of the Gaza Strip.

The day of the alleged Israeli attack, Facebook user Mohamed Awad and Twitter/X user @khalidalmaktari reported that “since morning, four martyrs and a number of injuries have arrived at the Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah as a result of the [Israeli military] targeting them, [including] Abd al-Rahman Fouad Ahmed Madi (30 years old) [who] was killed as a result of gunfire from a Quadcopter plane in the Khirbat Al Adas area.”

Online, various loved ones mourned Abdelrahman’s passing. Abu Yousef Walaa Madi announced “with tearful eyes and humble hearts satisfied with Allah’s will and destiny my cousin Abdelrahman Fouad Madi has passed away.” Kamel H S Madi wrote “a sad day, this Black Sunday Al Madi loses one of its knights. Youth leader: Abdul Rahman Fouad Madi (Abdou) has passed away.” Sharing a photo of the young man, Roro Madi posted  “With sincere condolences… To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return”. Mohammed Madi shared another photo of Abdulrahman and expressed grief that “Rafah and Al Madi lose one of their knights: youth leader, my dear cousin, the martyr: Abdul Rahman Fouad Madi (Abduh).”

Airwars has graded the strike status of this incident as a single source claim as only one source, repeated by another, attributed the incident to Israeli forces. However, as multiple sources mention the civilian harm, the civilian harm status has been graded as “fair”.
