Captain Suleiman Ahmed Zaid Al-Obaid, a former star of the Palestinian national football team and a key player for Al Shatee Club, was killed in an 'Israeli' airstrike on Gaza, according to local sources.

Born on March 24, 1984, Obaid was widely regarded as one of the most talented attacking midfielders in the Gaza Strip League, and a central figure in both his club and the national squad.
