According to Benado, other players were expected
to be at the restaurant, which is a favorite
hangout for the team, but had not yet arrived
when the explosion took place.

"We were sitting with our sides toward the door
of the restaurant, we didn't see who came in,"
said Chizik. "We felt an explosion and then
everyone around us was either wounded or dead."


"The place was packed, like it is every
Saturday," he said.

The Israel Football Association decided due to
the attack to postpone the game between Bnei
Sakhnin and Hapoel Petah Tikva that was to take
place 6:00 P.M. Saturday at the Kiryat Eliezer
stadium.
