Juventus vs. Atlético Madrid canceled amid unrest in Israel

TEL AVIV (AP) — A friendly between Juventus and Atlético Madrid scheduled to be played in Tel Aviv has been canceled after an outbreak of fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinians. The game was due to be held at the Bloomfield Stadium on Sunday. But the Italian and Spanish teams, along with game promoter Comtec Group, decided to call it off “in light of the current security situation,” the clubs said in almost identical statements. Fighting between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants raged on Saturday. Israeli jets pounded Gaza while rockets flew the other way, a day after an Israeli strike killed a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
