Muhannad al-Lili, a player for the Nadi Khadamat al-Maghazi football club, succumbed to injuries he sustained days earlier when Israeli occupation forces bombed his family home in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

He is the 439th player killed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza, according to Leyla Hameed, a sports journalist.

The deceased was also a recent groom, as his wedding photos were found on social media.

“Every day we bid farewell to a new athlete. We could be the next target,” said Mohammad al-Sharif, a Gaza footballer, on social media while announcing the death of his colleague.
