So far the reporting feels a bit off to me. None of the video/pictures recorded at the scene indicate any presence of Israeli troops.

Quite possibly Israeli troops (or settlers), but I'm going to wait for more verifiable reporting before making any judgement - quite often these types of stories get highly upvoted and later turn out to be falsified.

There's something called drones, used for dropping tear gas.

Quite plausible, but not what I'm seeing reported elsewhere

I don't know more than what either article says. I mentioned drones as an option, as they are constantly used by Israeli forces in other attacks against Palestinians.

So you're just speculating then. You're trying to make it make sense.

There was another article on /r/worldnews that has a title saying Israeli troops stormed the game. I can't seem to find it anymore though...

This one?

Source is "inside world football", and it's the first site to actually report it, which is suspicious. Meanwhile, middle easy eye will run anything that makes Israel look bad. No major news source seems to have an article about it yet.

Not saying the site is a valid news source just that it was 'reported' it was more than just drones

Dozens? Did every fan and player near the stadium run into the tear gas?

It looks like an empty stadium to me.

Where is the proof of any Israeli involvement?

Empty stadium with smoke fireworks it looks like. I can’t imagine Israeli police just firing tear gas and running away lol

I wonder what Israel’s reason for tear gasing the game was. The article didn’t have any comments from the Israelís.

edit: typo

Do you have proof Israel did this?

Professional-Can1385 t1_jef98by wrote

No, I don't have proof they did it, nor do I have proof they didn't. That's why I wish the article had a comment from Israel.
