A group of approximately 20 angry fans of the Beitar Jerusalem football club stormed the team's locker room at their training facility in Beit Vagan on Saturday night. The fans, protesting the team's poor performance and perceived lack of investment by owner Barak Abramov, threw fireworks, banged on doors, and verbally abused the players. They specifically expressed outrage over a recent loss to rival Hapoel Tel Aviv, emphasizing that such a defeat is unacceptable. This incident follows a dismal start to the season for Beitar Jerusalem, who have lost all six possible points so far. The fans' actions escalate previous protests, which had been limited to social media criticism. The team now faces a tense atmosphere as they prepare for their next match against Bnei Sakhnin.
