Killed in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Al-Qarara, east of Khan Yunis. He was confirmed killed on May 18 after contact with him was lost two days prior.
The photojournalist at “Al-Nahar News Agency,” ABDEL RAHMAN TAWFIQ AL-ABADLEH (35 years old), was killed as a result of a bombing that targeted his home in the town of Al-Qarara, east of Khan Younis. His body was found on Monday morning, a day after he went missing.
According to the testimony of Amer Al-Farra, a neighbor of the martyred journalist , he had gone on the evening of Sunday, May 18, 2025, to the Al-Qarara area east of Khan Younis to check on his home and retrieve some belongings after being displaced due to the new Israeli evacuation orders for residents in the area. When he did not return, his family became concerned—especially since his mobile phone was switched off, which increased their worry.
At around 7:00AM the following morning, some of his family members went out to search for him and check on his condition. They found him lying in a pool of blood, having been killed by an Israeli drone missile strike near his home. His body was recovered with difficulty due to the ongoing drone presence in the area and was transferred to Nasser Medical Complex.
