Analyst Yossi Eliezer reports via the '301 — The Arab World on Telegram' channel that celebrations have begun in Gaza, following Egypt's historic qualification to the World Cup round of 16. The scale and nature of the festivities have not been independently confirmed.
The 00:34 Jerusalem message from Yossi Eliezer's channel, '301 — The Arab World on Telegram', states that 'celebrations have begun in Gaza,' adding that Egypt qualified for the World Cup round of 16 for the first time. The claim is single-sourced and its specifics — the type and duration of the festivities — remain unverified. As The Zioneer reported at 00:10 Jerusalem, an earlier edition of this same bulletin noted that Eliezer had reported the start of celebrations without linking them to a specific cause. The current message provides the context: Egypt's victory over Australia on penalties earlier Friday propelled the team to the knockout stage, the first such achievement for the Egyptian national team. The footage showed in the earlier report, and the direct attribution now, suggest the crowd or celebration imagery is from Gaza, though no official Gaza-based source has been cited.
