13-Year-Old Palestinian Boy Killed In Israeli Strike Achieves YouTube Dream After Death
Awni Eldous, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy, had aspirations of building a following on his YouTube channel before his life was tragically cut short in an Israeli air attack in Gaza. However, even after his death, people have come together to help him achieve his dream of reaching 1 million subscribers. Currently, his channel boasts 1.49 million subscribers.
Last year in August, Eldous, known for his passion for computers and gaming, expressed his gratitude to his fans for helping his channel reach 1,000 subscribers. He also shared his ultimate goal, stating, “The goal of this channel is to reach 100,000 subscribers. And 500,000, then 1 million, and – God willing – to reach 10 million subscribers with your support and love.”
Awni Eldous concluded his video by bidding farewell to his initial 1,000 subscribers before stepping out of view. Heartfelt condolences and apologies for not assisting Eldous in achieving his goal while he was alive flooded the comments section of his videos.
Tragically, Awni’s family home was struck during an Israeli attack on October 7, as reported by the BBC. Awni’s aunt described him as a happy, confident, and helpful boy, often holding the door open for her. Due to his love for computers, another family member affectionately referred to him as “engineer Awni.”
To many, this young gamer has become a symbol representing the loss of children in the Gaza Strip. Awni’s uncle, Mohammed, recounted the sudden destruction of their building, with two bombs falling without any warning. Surviving the attack, Awni’s aunt shared her disbelief upon receiving messages about the tragedy. She rushed to the hospital after seeing a photo of her brother shared on social media with the caption, “Rest in peace.”
Awni’s aunt further stated that she did not want to view the bodies, as her husband wanted her to remember their loved ones’ beautiful faces when they were alive. Tragically, 15 members of their family, including Awni, lost their lives that night.
A calm and helpful boy, Awni would often imitate his father, a computer engineer, by disassembling and reassembling laptops. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in over 10,000 deaths in Gaza, with at least 4,000 of them being children.
Despite the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding Awni Eldous’s death, his YouTube channel continues to grow, fulfilling his dream from beyond the grave.
