Turkish basketball fans chanting “Israel, killers” “Palestine, Palestine” “death to Jews” stopped the start of a game against an Israeli team on Tuesday by throwing objects onto the court in protest against Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Some players were hit by the objects hurled by the crowd of several hundred.
The players from Turkey’s Telekom Ankara and Israel’s Bnei Hasharon teams escaped hurriedly to their dressing rooms while police battled to keep the protesters off the court.
