Pro-Palestinian activists and users took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their devastation for the matter while also demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza: 

"I was talking about him yesterday and how he always tries to show up in the best possible condition wearing a suit and with a nice photo behind him, even though the conditions are very bad in Gaza. 
My heart is broken. Rest in peace". 

"No way these Journalist deaths are simply coincidental. This is what western supported impunity looks like."
