An Israeli strike on Tuesday killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, the public relations director for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza.
The attack, which targeted a civilian vehicle in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighbourhood, killed two others alongside Wahidi, including a child, and left several people wounded, according to reports by the Palestinian Information Center and Arabi Post.
It came just hours before a World Cup match between Egypt and Argentina, which Wahidi's committee had been planning to screen publicly in Gaza City.
According to a spokesperson for the Egyptian Relief Committee, Wahidi also served as the director of the Office of Mukhtars and Community Elders at the committee's Gaza City headquarters.
He had been attending a neighbourhood reconciliation meeting just before the strike hit the vehicle he was in near the governorate building in Sabra.
