Police up security ahead of Beitar-Sakhnin game
Seven hundred police officers and over 200 attendants are set to secure a Sunday soccer match in the Arab Israeli town of Sakhnin between the local team, Bnei Sakhnin, and the rival Beitar Jerusalem club.
Beitar fans have a strong nationalist orientation, and violent confrontations have broken out at Beitar-Sakhnin games in the past.
Beitar fans will be rigorously inspected upon entering the Doha stadium in Sakhnin, Israel Radio reports.
