Palestinian sports media sources confirmed the deaths of four football players in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli shelling that targeted various areas of the Strip last Tuesday.

The sources explained that four football players in the Gaza Strip were killed as a result of the Israeli bombing: the two children, Mustafa Abu Dalal and Muhammad Abu Dalal, from the Nuseirat Services Sports Academy, in addition to the player Muhammad Salem from Al-Sadaqa Club, and the goalkeeper Badr Abu Dalal, the goalkeeper of Nuseirat Services Club.
