STORYLINE:
Mounted police and helicopters surveyed fans on Thursday night as France hosted Israel in a Nations League soccer game, a week after violence erupted in Amsterdam in connection with an Israeli club team’s visit.
The game in Saint-Denis, the suburb north of Paris, kicked off as scheduled at 8:45 p.m. local time.
French police chief Laurent Nuñez said 4,000 police officers and security staff were deployed in and around the Stade de France, with another 1,500 police on public transport.
Several buses carrying Israel fans arrived under police escort and some were waving flags inside the stadium.
Less than 20,000 of 80,000 tickets were sold, with around 150 Israel supporters present.
Paris authorities have been on high alert following the violence in Amsterdam before and after a Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Dutch authorities said fans from both sides were involved in the unrest.
The assaults on Maccabi fans sparked outrage and were widely condemned as antisemitic.
