Scores of anti-Israel protesters burst into the French Football Federation offices in Paris on Monday, and demanded the cancellation of an upcoming Nations League game between France and the Jewish state.

In video footage posted on social media, the protesters, wearing red gloves and “blood” bags, are seen lying on the floor of the headquarters or holding placards with political slogans and Palestinian flags.

Some can be heard chanting: “No, no, no to the France-Israel game at the Stade de France.”

The Nov. 14 match is slated to go ahead, with fans allowed in the stadium. This is after Italy hosted Israel in the same competition without incident, despite security concerns spurred by the year-long war against Hamas in Gaza.
