Masked Fans Threaten Beitar Jerusalem Players and Coach After Poor Season Start
Approximately 20 masked fans stormed the training grounds of Beitar Jerusalem on Saturday evening, confronting players and head coach Almog Cohen. The fans threw stun grenades, hurled curses, and issued threats for an extended period near the locker rooms. The incident occurred following two significant losses at the beginning of the league season, which have left the team without any points.
Beitar Jerusalem suffered a 4-1 defeat against Maccabi Netanya in the opening match and a 3-0 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv most recently. In these two games combined, the team conceded seven goals while scoring only one, intensifying pressure from a segment of the fanbase.
Despite the team's poor performance, club owner Barak Abramov publicly backed coach Almog Cohen, stating, "Almog Cohen is not going anywhere; he is a top professional." The club has confirmed the details of the incident.
