A moment of silence for the victims of the terror attacks in Israel was held Thursday night ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Denver Broncos.
More than 1,000 Israelis and more than two dozen Americans have been killed in Hamas’ attacks. The NFL teams remembered the lives lost before the national anthem.

As the public address announcer thanked those in attendance for their silence, one fan shouted an explicit message aimed at terrorists responsible for the massacre.

"F--- Hamas!" the fan shouted.
The Broncos released a statement on the terror attacks after the anthem was played.
