Israeli football team Maccabi Haifa’s game against French side Lille had to be
stopped after pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the pitch. Supporters of
reportedly Turkish origin ran onto the field in the Austrian stadium where the
game was played and headed for the Maccabi players, sparking ugly scenes.
One of the players is seen to trip a fan before punches were thrown. The
Maccabi players – some of whom retaliated – managed to leave the field
unhurt.The incident comes amid fears of growing anti-Semitism in Europe at
time when Israeli forces are locked in a violent conflict with militant group
Hamas in Gaza.
