It seems that relations between Turkey and Israel have never been as hostile as they are nowadays, and this tension is manifested in various areas.

One of them is the basketball industry: next week, Anadolu Eps and Besiktas will be forced to host Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv in other countries, since they will not be able to guarantee their safety in Istanbul, and there are those who take advantage of the sensitive situation to launch threats of this and that in illegal ways.



Surfers from Israel who tried to enter the official website of the Turkish Basketball Association today (Sunday), in order to be updated, among other things, on the results of the local league in which two Israelis play - Yam Medar in Fenerbahçe and Nimrod Levy in Samsonspor - were surprised to find that their entry was blocked.

"This page is not supported in your country", is the language of the message.

The Turkish union claimed that the blockade had nothing to do with them.

Its origin may come from a cyber attack carried out a few days ago, by pro-Palestinian elements.

The hackers took over the main page of the official website (tbf.org.tr), placed a picture of a masked terrorist, and next to it a threatening message according to which the union must sever its ties with all commercial companies that cooperate with Israel.
