Fans of the famous Israeli soccer team, Beitar Jerusalem, known for its anti-Arab base, clashed on Friday over a dispute over the UAE’s investment in the club.
On the sidelines of the players’ training sessions, today the fans who supported the investment were attacked by 12 from the group of “La Familia” fans, known for their far-right tendencies, who oppose the agreement, reported “Agence France-Presse “.
“Police arrested four people between the ages of 18 and 29 involved in public disturbances,” said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld in a statement.
