A Palestinian aid worker, Mohammed (also reported as Mohamed) al-Wahidi, is killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza shortly before people gather for a World Cup screening he organised, according to multiple reports. Al-Wahidi dies when a missile strikes his taxi minutes before attendees arrive for the screening, which takes place in the context of the match coverage in Gaza. The Guardian reports the screening is connected to the game between Egypt and Argentina, and that the incident occurs on Tuesday evening, shortly before the match starts. Al Jazeera similarly says he is killed minutes before a World Cup screening he organised begins.
The reports also agree that others are killed in the same attack. The Guardian states that two brothers aged eight and 10 and another man near the strike site are also killed. Both accounts describe the killing as an Israeli strike and place it in close timing relative to the planned public screening event. The sources provide no further details in the excerpts about responsibility beyond the strike and do not describe any response from authorities in these summaries.
