 Before the game against Standard Liège in Belgium, the players were staying at the hotel room.Shalom Avitan, Be'er Sheva's player, fooled around with the .22 Short caliber that was in a box on the table and that belonged to the Shabak agent who was guarding the team (after the Munich Massacre, Israel took no chances).Avitan thought the gun was unloaded and pointed it towards Vollach.
