That’s because it isn’t a real news site

It's a terrible source, which is presumably why OP chose it; it's just a Qatari influence operation.

There's something called drones, used for dropping tear gas.

Quite plausible, but not what I'm seeing reported elsewhere
> About 10pm two Israeli armoured vehicles broke into the stadium. Soldiers exited the vehicles and began firing tear gas from behind a wall.

I don't know more than what either article says. I mentioned drones as an option, as they are constantly used by Israeli forces in other attacks against Palestinians.

So you're just speculating then. You're trying to make it make sense.
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7t68 wrote
How often are drones used beyond recon?
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7qa2 wrote
Cool, the proof?

There was another article on /r/worldnews that has a title saying Israeli troops stormed the game. I can't seem to find it anymore though...

Source is "inside world football", and it's the first site to actually report it, which is suspicious. Meanwhile, middle easy eye will run anything that makes Israel look bad. No major news source seems to have an article about it yet.

Not saying the site is a valid news source just that it was 'reported' it was more than just drones

Dozens? Did every fan and player near the stadium run into the tear gas?
It looks like an empty stadium to me.
IsraeliDonut t1_jef7nam wrote
Where is the proof of any Israeli involvement?
Cabshank t1_jeftjbg wrote
Empty stadium with smoke fireworks it looks like. I can’t imagine Israeli police just firing tear gas and running away lol

I wonder what Israel’s reason for tear gasing the game was. The article didn’t have any comments from the Israelís.
edit: typo
IsraeliDonut t1_jef823j wrote
Do you have proof Israel did this?
Professional-Can1385 t1_jef98by wrote
No, I don't have proof they did it, nor do I have proof they didn't. That's why I wish the article had a comment from Israel.
IsraeliDonut t1_jef9o4f wrote
What? Did you just assume anybody did it then?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)
> Several Palestinian football players and fans suffered from choking and breathlessness after Israeli forces fired tear gas during a cup final match in occupied East Jerusalem, the Palestinian Football Association said.
> On Thursday evening, Israeli forces fired tear gas inside Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium in Dahiat al-Barid street in al-Ram, a town in East Jerusalem.
> Turkey's General Consul to Palestine Ahmet Riza Demirer, and Jibril al-Rajoub, the president of the PFA, were attending the final of the Abu Ammar Cup on Thursday evening when Israeli forces disrupted the competition.

United States: "We absolutely condemn recklessly kicking around deadly balls in the presence of Israeli peacekeepers."

Were any Israelis in attendance?
RowdyRoddyRosenstein t1_jeeqns6 wrote
So far the reporting feels a bit off to me. None of the video/pictures recorded at the scene indicate any presence of Israeli troops.
Quite possibly Israeli troops (or settlers), but I'm going to wait for more verifiable reporting before making any judgement - quite often these types of stories get highly upvoted and later turn out to be falsified.
