Far-right supporters of an Israeli soccer team known as La Familia stormed a hospital searching for wounded Hamas fighters, say reports

• A group of far-right soccer fans stormed a hospital in Israel hunting wounded Hamas fighters.
• La Familia are a notoriously racist set of supporters of the Israeli soccer team Beitar Jerusalem.

A group of far-right soccer fans stormed into a hospital in Israel after a report said that wounded Hamas fighters were being treated there, reports say.

More than 100 members of La Familia, a group that supports the Israeli soccer team Beitar Jerusalem, blocked the entrance of Sheba Hospital's emergency room in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night, PBS reported, citing an Israeli official.

Videos circulating on X appeared to show members of the group entering the hospital and causing disruption.

The La Familia fans are known for their racist and nationalist extremist views, often leading anti-Arab and anti-Muslim chants at games. Beitar Jerusalem's fan base is drawn from Mizrachi Jews — descendants of Jewish communities that immigrated to Israel from the Muslim Arab world, including Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, and North Africa, often fleeing persecution.

In the past. the soccer club has publicly condemned the group and distanced themsleves from it.

Dozens of group members stormed in after a report said that the hospital was treating Hamas fighters who had taken part in the unprecedented attacks on Israel over the weekend.

Hagai Levine, Chairman of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians, told PBS that no Hamas militants involved in the invasion of southern Israel were being treated at the hospital at the time of the riot.

Israeli outlet Ynet had reported earlier that three wounded Hamas fighters were being treated in Israeli hospitals but were moved after fears of unrest.

Israeli Health Minister Moshe Arbel later said that Israel's public hospitals were barred from treating militants and that any injured Hamas fighters should be referred to the military or intelligence services, per PBS.

Police arrived at the center to disperse the group, and three people were arrested, Ynet reported.

The unprecedented terrorist attacks on Israel left a total of 1,300 people dead, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Israel began bombarding the Gaza Strip with airstrikes in response, killing over 1,500 people, according to the Gaza health ministry.
