Salah inquires about the circumstances of the death of "Palestinian Pele"

• Salah inquired about the circumstances surrounding the death of Suleiman al-Obeid.
• Al-Obeid was killed by Israeli shelling in Gaza.
• Football fans are honoring the fallen al-Obeid, rather than mourning his death.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah asked about the circumstances surrounding the death of Palestinian footballer Suleiman al-Obeid, who was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Al-Obeid, known as the "Palestinian Pele," died at the age of 41 while waiting to receive humanitarian aid.

Suleiman al-Obeid, who played for the national team of Palestine, was recognized as one of the brightest footballers in the region. Throughout his career from 2007 to 2023, he scored over 100 goals.

The Palestinian Football Association reported that al-Obeid was killed as a result of artillery shelling. His widow, Dua al-Obeid, revealed that their family was left homeless due to the shelling, and they are currently living in a tent.

Salah wrote on social media that UEFA did not mention the circumstances of al-Obeid's death in its tribute. He asked why it was not indicated how, where, and why he was killed.

This incident has sparked outrage among fans, who emphasize his legacy rather than the circumstances of his death. Al-Obeid is remembered as a talented player, whose level is compared to legends of world football.
