Israel supporters were involved in serious clashes at the Stade de France during the powder-keg international against France in Paris.

Outside the stadium, a fearsome police presence surrounded pro-Palestinian demonstrations but skirmishes erupted in the stands during the match.

Fans wearing Israel flags were involved in confrontations broken up by under-cover French officers although it was not immediately clear whether they were fighting pro-Palestine protesters.

Inside the stadium several fights broke out in the stands with many supporters seen trying to flee the violence.
