The wife of New York City’s leading Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, publicly mourned the death of Palestinian influencer Saleh Al-Jafarawi, known as “Mr. FAFO,” who openly glorified the October 7 massacre, in a Sunday Instagram post.
Rama Duwaji posted four broken heart emojis on her Instagram story with a picture of the Hamas affiliate. “Beloved Jafarawi,” she added.
“Mr. FAFO” was reportedly killed by an anti-Hamas militia in the Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City. He was found with a gunshot wound to his head, according to reports.
He had gained global attention for his viral videos from Gaza, frequently appearing in clips even after being falsely reported dead. On several occasions, he filmed himself from hospital beds after reportedly surviving attacks.
Members of the Doghmush clan reportedly killed him.
Escalation between Hamas and Doghmush clan
The escalation between Hamas and the Doghmush clan reportedly began when members of the clan ambushed several Hamas operatives near the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza City this past Friday, shortly after a ceasefire went into effect.
Duwaji married Mamdani in a civil ceremony in February. They met on Hinge in 2021.
Similar to Mamdani, Duwaji has been outspoken against Israel’s conduct in its war against Hamas on her social media.
