Former Palestinian National Team Player Suleiman Obeid Martyred in Gaza While Awaiting Aid Former Palestinian national team footballer Suleiman Obeid was martyred on Wednesday after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza City, according to medical sources in the besieged Strip. اضافة اعلان The 41-year-old was reportedly waiting for humanitarian aid when he was fatally targeted, becoming yet another victim of Israel's ongoing aggression against civilians in Gaza, which has continued for over 22 months amid alarming international silence. Obeid is not the first athlete to be killed during this period. Just last month, 39 athletes, scouts, and youth figures were martyred, bringing the total number of victims from the Palestinian sports and youth community to over 660 martyrs since the beginning of the genocide. The late captain Suleiman Obeid began his football career with his hometown club Shabab Al-Shati (Beach Services Club) and also played for Al-Amari Club in the West Bank Premier League. He scored his first international goal for Palestine against Yemen during the 2010 West Asian Football Federation Championship and represented the national team in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers and the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Largest civilian flotilla to challenge "Israeli" Gaza blockade in late August
A massive civilian flotilla involving activists from over 40 countries is set to launch at the end of August in an unprecedented attempt to breach "Israel's" blockade on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid by sea. The initiative was announced during a press conference in Tunis, organized by the Joint Action Coordination for Palestine, a civil society platform coordinating the international campaign. According to organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla, dozens of boats of varying sizes will depart from ports worldwide and converge on Gaza in what they describe as the largest civilian maritime effort in history aimed at confronting the siege. 'This summer, the world will witness a coordinated civilian uprising at sea,' said Haifa Mansouri, one of the lead organizers. 'Our goal is to break the illegal blockade, establish a humanitarian corridor, and stand against the genocide unfolding in Gaza.' The flotilla merges four separate movements: the Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, the Global Movement to Gaza, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, and Sumud Nusantara. The first fleet is scheduled to depart from Spanish ports on August 31, followed by another from Tunisia on September 4. Over 6,000 activists have already signed up to join the effort, according to Seif Abu Keshk, another flotilla organizer. 'Participants will receive training at departure points, and solidarity encampments and public events are planned along the journey,' he said. 'This is more than a protest—it's a civilian mission to challenge global indifference and apply pressure on governments to end the blockade,' Abu Keshk added. The announcement comes just days after "Israeli" naval forces intercepted the Handala aid ship on July 26, diverting it to Ashdod port as it approached Gaza's coast. The ship had reached about 70 nautical miles from shore, further than many previous attempts.

Handcuffed Gazan killed in custody at Shin Bet interrogation center
A 40-year-old Palestinian detainee from Gaza died after allegedly falling from a significant height while handcuffed inside an 'Israeli' Shin Bet interrogation facility, according to a recent investigation by Haaretz. The incident, reportedly, occurred in January 2024, adding to a disturbing pattern of deaths in "Israeli" custody since the start of the war on Gaza. The report stated that he man's body was transferred without identification, leaving him officially unrecognized, though Haaretz reports that Shin Bet is aware of his identity. "Israeli" authorities later claimed the detainee fell while trying to escape, despite being restrained at the time. An autopsy confirmed injuries consistent with a high fall, as well as marks indicating he had been shackled for an extended period. The "Israeli" Ministry of Justice concluded its internal inquiry without finding suspicion of criminal wrongdoing, even though the man died while in state custody. The Haaretz investigation reveals that since October 7, 2023, at least six Palestinians have been killed during Shin Bet interrogations. "Israel's" Department for the Investigation of Interrogation Complaints stated that in three of the cases, no criminal suspicion was found. In a fourth case, the court closed the investigation. Two additional cases are still under review. In all instances, forensic assessments were sought, and further investigative steps were reportedly taken. One of the closed cases involved Dr. Iyad Rantisi, a 53-year-old director of a women's hospital in Beit Lahia, who died in Shikma Prison six days after his arrest in November. His family was not informed of his death until Haaretz published a report in June. While the official cause of death was listed as a heart attack, his body bore signs of physical trauma, raising suspicions that injuries may have contributed to his death. The Shin Bet does not disclose the deaths of detainees in its custody. Since the beginning of the war, deaths of Gazan detainees in Israeli prisons or military facilities have remained largely unreported and cloaked in secrecy. In a separate incident, on Sunday, 20-year-old Ahmad Saeed Saleh Tazaz'a, a Palestinian from Jenin, died in Megiddo Prison while under administrative detention since May 2025. The Palestinian Prisoners' Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported the death, saying Tazaz'a was in good health prior to his arrest. The "Israel" Prison Service declined to comment and referred Haaretz. Tazaz'a is the sixth detainee to die in Megiddo Prison since the war began. A previous Haaretz investigation exposed systemic neglect in the facility, including malnutrition and deteriorating health conditions. According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Society, at least 76 Palestinian detainees have died in "Israeli" prisons and military detention centers since October 7, all with known identities.
