AL WAKRAH, Qatar (AP) — Chants of “free, free Palestine” rang out again from the crowd during the Palestinian soccer team’s game against United Arab Emirates at the Asian Cup on Thursday.

Similar chants were made at the Palestinian team’s game against Iran on Sunday.

Just as for that game, a moment’s silence was held before kickoff for the lives lost as a result of the “ongoing situation in Palestine.” Loud chanting had already rung out around Al Janoub Stadium before the two teams lined up in the center to observe the silence, and it started again shortly after.
