World Cup Joy Turned Tragedy in Gaza | San Francisco News

A World Cup moment turned tragic as an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City killed Mohamed al-Wahidi, a key organizer of public screenings for Gazans to watch the tournament, along with three others—including two young brothers. The strike, which hit the Sabra neighborhood, overshadowed global football excitement and reignited debate over civilian casualties amid ongoing conflict. Though Israel claims the target was a Hamas militant, the driver of the struck vehicle, a civilian taxi driver with no militant ties, remains a mystery. Meanwhile, Egypt’s national soccer team stands in solidarity with Palestinians, dedicating victories to both nations and waving Palestinian flags on the field. With over 1,000 killed in Gaza since October and tens of thousands since the war began, the human cost continues to mount.
