An Israeli strike in Gaza kills an organizer of public screenings of World Cup matches shortly before a kickoff, according to multiple reports. Gaza health authorities say the man was involved in organizing screenings for the tournament in the enclave. The reports describe him as an organizer connected to the public viewing events, with one outlet identifying him as al-Wahidi.
Separately, reporting on the broader conflict notes that, since a truce takes effect in October, at least 1,027 people are killed, including 258 children. In the same period, five Israeli soldiers are reported killed. The Israeli military states that al-Wahidi was not a target of the strike, according to one of the sources.
The accounts collectively focus on the same incident—an Israeli strike resulting in the death of a World Cup screening organizer in Gaza—while also providing context on reported casualties during the post-truce period. The reports do not provide further details on the circumstances of the strike beyond the parties’ statements.
