The Israel has been living a nightmare since Saturday morning, when a rocket attack was launched from Gaza Strip on behalf of the Palestinian organization Hamas, which was able to infiltrate the country. Several people, including civilians, were killed, while others were taken hostage.
This whole situation will, of course, affect sports as well. The home matches of the teams will of course not be held unexpectedly, while it is also doubtful what will happen to all the teams that have to travel.
The country’s Ministry currently prohibits any departure of Israeli groups and delegations abroad. It may only be an official ban in light of the current situation following the serious attack, but at the moment each team is trying to resolve the matter individually, while five Israeli teams have matches in European competitions next week.
THE Maccabi Tel Avivwho has to travel to Milan to play with her Armani in the context of the Euroleague, it follows the instructions of the authorities so far. The Israeli champions remain in contact with various parties in the hope of being able to travel, although that remains uncertain.
Away match with Benfica for BCL also gives Hapoel Jerusalemwith Walla Sports stressing that so far there has been no communication about a possible postponement of the game, although something like this is possible if the situation does not escalate.
Finally, the Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled to host Wolves for the EuroCup . The two clubs and Euroleague Basketball are expected to make a decision by Sunday (8/10) on whether the game will go ahead.
