Clashes at Paris football stadium as Israel-France face off
Videos circulating on social media show Israeli football fans clashing with French spectators during their teams’ match at Stade de France in Paris. Some of the footage, which has been verified by Al Jazeera, showed Israeli fans beating up the French fans in the stands.
Videos showed the stadium was mostly empty before the start of the match due to security concerns following violent clashes in Amsterdam after a football match last week.
Others showed fans booing and whistling while the Israeli national anthem played. Some clips pointed to clashes outside the stadium as well.
Israeli media reported that internal security agency Shin Bet’s chief Ronen Bar accompanied the Israeli team to France and was at the stadium.
