At the start of Israel's game at the Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Lausanne against Switzerland, just nine seconds after the opening whistle, a supporter carrying a Palestinian flag burst onto the court, causing a brief interruption in the game. The demonstrator managed to breach from the stands onto the court during the Israeli team's first offensive play, waving a Palestine flag and running toward the center of the court. Security forces at the venue acted quickly, apprehended the individual and removed him from the arena.
