Seven people were lightly injured Saturday, including six police officers, as a riot broke out at a Galilee soccer match.

Some 800 fans turned out for the Kafr Kama match, which featured the home team against Kafr Sulam. Tiberias Police deployed 15 officers to provide security at the game.

After the final whistle, a scuffle broke out between fans of the opposing teams. Police sources said officers were assaulted as they tried to separate the two groups, and were forced to fire in the air as well as use pepper gas against the rioters.

Two police officers and a soccer fan were lightly injured as a result of gas inhalation, and were taken to Poriya Hospital in Tiberias for treatment. Four other officers were lightly injured but treated at the scene.

Two of the fans were arrested on suspicion of rioting and assaulting police officers. The police intend to launch an investigation into their handling of the incident.
