Rapids in the Stade de France: Chaos at the high -risk game France against Israel!

Stade de France, 93216 Saint-Denis, Frankreich - Im Stade de France in Paris, tumultuous scenes occurred as during the highly expected high -risk game between France and Israel smoke bombs. Around 50 people clashed in the north curve during the first half when the Israeli hymn sounded. The security forces were quickly on hand and separated the rival groups, but the excitement lasted about two minutes and caused a sensation.

The security measures were enormous: 4,000 police officers and 1,600 security forces were on duty to protect the event. However, it remained calm before the kick -off, and the police had already fully secured the stadium in the afternoon. Despite the high security measures, only 16,600 spectators were on site, which increased the explosive situation.

after the game: Security situation relaxes

After the goalless draw between the two teams, the location near the stadium calmed down. Israels fans, including many French Jews, were safely removed from the stadium in special buses, accompanied by the police. A civil police officer expressed a positive statement about the effort: "This went very well. We had more funds than with the Olympics."

The Israeli coach Ran Ben Shimon praised the security measures in France and thanked for protection: "Security was extraordinary and fantastic." These positive feedback are no coincidence, because after the targeted attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam, there were great concerns about security. The Israeli National Security Council advised the citizens to avoid caution at events abroad and to avoid those in which Israeli teams or artists participate.
