Armed Israelis ‘spotted’ at soccer game

THE Department of Justice and the gardaí have refused to comment on reports that armed Israeli security personnel were present at a Europa League game in Dublin last week.

The game between Shamrock Rovers and Israeli side Bnei Yehuda in Tallaght last Thursday was accompanied by a small-scale protest against human rights abuses.

One member of the public verbally complained to gardaí that he had seen a civilian armed with what appeared to be an automatic weapon. He claims he was then informed by a garda that Israeli security personnel had been granted permission to attend the event armed.
