The hard feelings among the public in Israel following the shooting attack tonight (Tuesday) in Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan did not miss the local athletes this time either.

As after the murderous attack in Hadera, this time too the Premier League footballers did not spare harsh statements, including against the decision-makers.

"Looking and not believing what I see," Maccabi Tel Aviv player Dan Bitton wrote on Instagram.

"I just ran out of words a long time ago. I don't understand what needs to happen for something to change here - a country of clowns."

His teammate Elon Almog wrote: "It is forbidden to be silent! An abnormal reality. It is impossible to maintain a normal life routine, just a shame. That someone will already wake up."

Alo generation: "We became ducks in the range, it's time to wake up from a coma. Disgrace."

Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball player Yiftach Ziv also posted things on Instagram after the victory in Greece: "Victory is important but nothing comes close to the feelings in the heart," the coordinator wrote.

"We have to overcome the sad reality and live in security and peace."
