The Israeli army continues to fight with Hamas in Gaza, on the one hand, and with Hezbollah in Lebanon, on the other. In Lebanon, especially in the last two and a half months, Israel has killed many fighters, including Hezbollah commander Nasrallah, thanks to continuous air and ground attacks. But many ordinary Lebanese citizens also die every day in Israeli attacks. Now, in one of those attacks, the famous Lebanese soccer player was seriously injured and is fighting for her life in the hospital.

Selin was reportedly invited by the Lebanon national team to a training camp in August this year, where she had to participate in qualification matches for the upcoming tournament. However, in the current situation the question is whether he can recover and return to the field or not. Following this incident, some users demanded that football’s highest body, FIFA, break its silence on this issue and also demanded a ban on the Israeli football team.
