Israeli Military Attacks Journalists Covering West Bank Raids, Kills Gaza TikTok Star 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more news from the West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at
Palestinian journalists documenting Israel's dayslong deadly raid on
Jenin. Israeli soldiers were also seen chasing and attempting to ram at
the group of journalists with an armored military bulldozer as the
Israeli army destroyed shops, streets, homes and other infrastructure.
At least two journalists were injured in the attack.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, 19-year-old beloved Tik Tok star Mohammad "Medo"
Halimy was killed in an Israeli strike on Khan Younis Friday. Halimy had
walked to his local internet café, a tent with Wi-Fi, to meet a friend
and collaborator when he was struck and began bleeding from the head;
Halimy died in the hospital a few hours later. Halimy began uploading
videos to Tik Tok and Instagram in May, documenting life in Gaza amid
Israel's relentless war.
