United States: "We absolutely condemn recklessly kicking around deadly balls in the presence of Israeli peacekeepers."

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

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

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...

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.

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.

Dozens? Did every fan and player near the stadium run into the tear gas?
It looks like an empty stadium to me.

It's a terrible source, which is presumably why OP chose it; it's just a Qatari influence operation.

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

Where is the proof of any Israeli involvement?
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7oz3 wrote
That’s because it isn’t a real news site
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7qa2 wrote
Cool, the proof?
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7t68 wrote
How often are drones used beyond recon?
IsraeliDonut t1_jef823j wrote
Do you have proof Israel did this?
IsraeliDonut t1_jef847w wrote
Were any Israelis in attendance?
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.
IsraeliDonut t1_jef9o4f wrote
What? Did you just assume anybody did it then?
Cabshank t1_jeftjbg wrote
Empty stadium with smoke fireworks it looks like. I can’t imagine Israeli police just firing tear gas and running away lol
