Nabhan himself was killed by Israeli artillery on Dec. 15, 2024,[2] while trying to help children who had been injured by a previous Israeli airstrike in Nuseirat Camp, Gaza Strip.[3]

Nabhan gained popularity online when a video posted on instagram showed him holding his granddaughter who had recently passed away. He is seen cradling her in his arms and calling her "soul of my soul."[4]

The phrase and Nabhan gained world-wide popularity and Nabhan set up his own Instagram account where he gained a substantial following of 1 million followers. [5][6]
