The Israel Professional Football League has announced the postponement of the games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday (the sixth stage of the championship).

Antonio Sefer (Hapoel Beer Sheva) and Adrian Peun (Ehud Bnei Sakhnin) reacted to GSP.

“Brother, I am crying, I did not think that I would live like this. This is not good at all. They let me go home. I pray that it will be over soon. Calm down, I think, answered the Israelis. I pray this ends and no one gets hurt. I won’t say more, I don’t know if I’m allowed to speak” – Antonio Sefer for GSP.

“The situation is not very good. There were many attacks and many rockets. Unfortunately, I cannot speak on this topic because I was banned from the club” – Adrian Paun according to VSP.

A brief summary of events in Israel:

• The Palestinian armed group Hamas has launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel, the largest offensive of its kind in decades. “Al-Aqsa” is the name of the thousand-year-old Great Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem.
• The attack began when Hamas began firing thousands of rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip. Several injuries are reported.
• Israel’s military radio reported that Palestinian fighters from Gaza had “infiltrated” into Israel. Images on the Internet show gunmen in cars inside Israel and others entering Israeli territory on motorized paragliders and attempting to cross by sea by boat.
• There are also images of Palestinian militants taking Israeli hostages.
• The Israeli army urged the population living near the border with Gaza to stay at home, and Israel’s defense minister approved the mobilization of military reservists.
• The commander of the military wing of Hamas called on armed groups in Lebanon to join the fight against Israel.
• The Israeli military said its forces were operating in the Gaza Strip, but did not provide details.
