On May 12, 2024, a Palestinian civilian male Fathi Shanioura (Abu Rushidi) was allegedly killed when Israeli forces reportedly invaded the al-Zaitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City in the Gaza Strip. The precise circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
Friends and family members took to social media to mourn the loss and commemorate Fathi Shanioura as a “martyr.” Others expressed their condolences, fondly remembering him as a father, uncle, and cousin, and offered prayers for God’s mercy and for Fathi Shanioura to “rest in peace.”
A family member called Mohammed Al-Ghali paid tribute to Fathi in a post on Facebook and offered condolences to Fathi’s brothers, Mahdi and Nahed, on the loss of their brother.
The social media sources also shared images of the late Fathi – an elderly man smiling at the camera. Eyada.shere shared a graphic image of his dead body.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
