Suleiman Al-Obeid, celebrated as the 'Pele' of Palestinian soccer, was killed in southern Gaza while waiting to collect food, according to his family and the Palestinian Football Association. His widow, Doaa Al-Obeid, now holds onto his number 10 shorts as one of the few remaining mementos after their home was destroyed earlier this year.
