The Israeli national team takes gold in the men’s group marathon at the European Athletics Championships in Munich.
Israel’s Marhu Teferi also wins a silver medal at the competition, while fellow Israeli Gashau Ayale picks up a bronze medal.
Along with Teferi and Ayale, the other members of the gold medal squad are Omer Ramon, Yimer Getahun and Girmaw Amare.
The strong showing for Israel comes 50 years after 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the Munich Olympics.
