A friendly match between the football clubs Juventus and Atletico Madrid scheduled for Sunday in Tel Aviv has been cancelled, Spanish media reported.
The two clubs cited security reasons, amid the ongoing hostilities between Israel and armed groups in the Gaza Strip since Friday afternoon.
The match was due to be held at the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 7 August.
The development comes on the second day of Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has killed at least 11 Palestinians and wounded more than 80, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Palestinian armed groups in Gaza have responded with rockets that targeted Tel Aviv and a number of other cities and facilities.
