IDF int'l spox.: No record of any incident involving Suleiman al-Obeid
IDF spokesperson Nadav Shoshani: "After an initial review, we found no records of any incidents involving Suleiman al-Obeid. In order to take a closer look, we need more details." An IDF strike on August 6 did not result in any casualties in and around aid distribution centers, IDF spokesperson Lt.-Col. Nadav Shoshani said on social media. The report comes following widespread accusations that an IDF strike resulted in the death of soccer player Suleiman al-Obeid, known as the "Palestinian Pele," at an aid distribution site in southern Gaza. Following a tribute to Obeid by UEFA, Premier League star Mohammed Salah criticized the soccer body for not mentioning the circumstances behind his death. However, Shoshani replied to Salah, "After an initial review, we found no records of any incidents involving Suleiman al-Obeid. In order to take a closer look, we need more details."

"He gave his talent and dedication to the children of Gaza and gave their dreams a hope to blossom despite the suffering," the statement read. "His death is a great loss to the world of football and to everyone who recognizes the power of sport to unite people." This is a developing story. Solve the daily Crossword
