Palestinians say Gaza Tik Tok star, known for videos on life amid war, killed in strike
|
[IsraelTimes] Medo Halimy’s friends say he found salve in channeling his grief and anxiety into deadpan humor as he filmed his ‘Tent Life’ series, showing life in a humanitarian safe zone
Bad luck. It was another day of war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, another day of what 19-year-old Paleostinian TikTok star Medo Halimy called his "Tent Life."
As he often did in videos documenting life’s mundane absurdities in the enclave, Halimy on Monday walked to his local internet cafe — rather, a tent with Wi-Fi where displaced Paleostinians can connect to the outside world — to meet his friend and collaborator Talal Murad.
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, a kaboom 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 center of the earth-shattering kaboom Paleostinians said was caused by an Israeli strike. It took 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Hours later doctors pronounced Halimy dead.
"He represented a message," Murad said on Friday, still recovering from his shrapnel wounds and reeling from the apparent Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
that killed his friend. "He represented hope and strength."
The Israeli military said it was not aware of the alleged strike that killed Halimy.
Lede buried. Headline should read: Really Nice Guy Killed By Hamas Rocket That Missed Israel, Learns Whether Paradise Is Also For Accidental Martyrs. Tributes to Halimy kept pouring in Friday from friends as far afield as Harker Heights, Texas, where he spent a year in 2021 as part of an exchange program sponsored by the State Department.
"Medo was the life of the hangout... humor and kindness and wit, all things that can never be forgotten," said Heba al-Saidi, alumni coordinator for the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study program. "He was bound for greatness, but he was taken too soon."
His death also catalyzed an outpouring of grief on social media, where his followers expressed shock and sadness as if they, too, had lost a close friend.
