Former Palestinian national team player Suleiman Al-Obeid was shot and killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting to receive aid for his family, bringing the death toll among athletes since the start of the Israeli aggression to 656.
Al-Obeid, a former Palestine national team player and former Khadamat Al-Shati team player, came after the Israeli occupation forces targeted those waiting for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. Al-Obeid was born on March 24, 1984, in Gaza City. He is married with two sons and three daughters.
Al-Obeid was called “The Gazelle,” “The Black Jewel,” “Henry of Palestine,” and “The Pele of Palestinian Football.” He began his career with his home club, Khadamat Al-Shati Club, then moved to the West Bank, joining the Al-Amari Youth Center Club from 2009 to 2013, winning the first edition of the Professional League in the 2010-2011 season.
