Israel Hayom reports a serious incident during the MLS match in Montreal, where objects were thrown at Israeli striker Dor Turgeman and the crowd chanted 'Death to Israel.' Turgeman, who scored a goal earlier, reportedly responded to the provocation.
Israel Hayom reports that during the overnight MLS match in Montreal, the crowd not only chanted 'Death to Israel' at Israeli striker Dor Turgeman but also threw objects at him. The report states that Turgeman responded to the incident. This development adds to a series of incidents that have been reported through the night.
The Zioneer first reported on the incident at 06:35 Jerusalem, noting that the crowd chanted 'Death to Israel' and that Turgeman scored a goal, making a silencing gesture. Subsequent reports at the same time detailed that the crowd threw cups and lighters, and the opposing goalkeeper attacked Turgeman, receiving a yellow card. The corroboration has evolved from initial reports by i24NEWS to coverage by Israeli media, and now Israel Hayom provides additional details on thrown objects.
The Zioneer reported at 08:51 Jerusalem that Turgeman scored amid the chants and celebrated defiantly. The incident unfolded during a match in Montreal, with the crowd's behavior drawing condemnation.
The full extent of the incident, including any disciplinary action by MLS or the Montreal club, remains unclear. Turgeman's exact response to the thrown objects has not been detailed beyond the report that he responded.
