Police raid a warehouse belonging to Hapoel Tel Aviv soccer fans, after arresting around 20 people suspected of rioting during an October match.
Officers entered the Tel Aviv warehouse with a key seized from one of the fans detained this morning. They confiscated dozens of extendable clubs and tear gas canisters, police say.
At the same time, police are investigating graffiti put up on Tel Aviv’s Allenby Street that reads: “Death to the Israel Police” in the team’s colors of red, white and black.
In October, police canceled a much-anticipated derby match between Tel Aviv’s rival soccer teams — Hapoel and Maccabi — after rioting that wounded four people in and around Bloomfield Stadium.
Police say they are continuing to crack down on the soccer club and detaining more suspects from the rioting, following a weeklong undercover investigation.
