His work was integral to informing the local population and raising awareness of the humanitarian crises faced by Palestinians.

Tragically, Muammar was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, as part of a series of attacks on journalists during the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza. He was killed along with several members of his family, including children and other relatives. His death, along with many others, underscores the dangers faced by journalists working in conflict zones and the targeted nature of the Israeli military's campaign against media professionals, which aimed to silence critical reporting.

Muammar’s death adds to the growing toll of 176 journalists killed during the Israeli assault, as they were perceived as a threat to the control of information during a time of heightened military actions.
