Former Israeli soccer player Lior Assulin killed by Hamas

Former Israeli footballer Lior Assulin was killed in a brutal attack by Hamas, a Palestinian organization that describes itself as jihadist, nationalist and Islamist.

According to international sources, the 32-year-old athlete was killed at a resort in southern Israel during Saturday morning's terrorist attacks.

Approximately 50 terrorists arrived at the venue and killed several civilians, including Assulin. This tragic situation has deeply shocked the entire footballing community.

On social media, teammates who played with him have expressed messages of support and solidarity for his family and friends.

Great sadness

"Great sadness," were the words of Hapoel Tel Aviv's official club account.

Israel Hayom media reported that the ex-footballer passed away while celebrating his 43rd birthday, which took place at the Kibbur Ra'im. In addition, Hapoel Tel Aviv confirmed the tragedy.

"Great sadness. After many hours in which he was identified as missing, it is now known that the club's former player, Lior Asulin, was killed by terrorists at a party in Ra'im," the statement confirmed.

Also, the coach of the Israeli club Bnei Sakhnin, Eyal Lachman, expressed his sorrow at the news of the former's passing, "A guy with a heart of gold, that was his most outstanding characteristic, they always said that his most outstanding characteristic was to give back, I saw that the most outstanding characteristic was to give his friends his soul.

"I heard yesterday that he was missing, the first thought that came to my mind was what a beautiful life he could have had and what a different life he spent at the end. Very sad, all the time he simply suffered."

In his professional career, he scored 88 league goals in his country and his sporting highlight came with the club Bnei Sakhnin, where he won the Israeli Cup in 2004.

Other civilians also lost their lives in the same incident as Lior Assulin in what are the first days of attacks between Palestinians and Israelis.
