Pro-Palestinian fans attack Israeli soccer players
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePlayers from the Israeli team Maccabi Haifa were attacked in Bischofshofen, Austria Wednesday during a friendly against Lille when pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the field.
They had been taunting and cursing at the Maccabi players the entire match, then ran onto the field with five minutes left. They scuffled with some players, but no one was injured.
The game was abandoned after the incident.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have turned ugly, even violent, across Europe since the start of Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
