Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv’s game against Besiktas in the Europa League has been played without incident before empty stands in Hungary, with the stadium closed to fans over security concerns following attacks on Israeli supporters in Amsterdam this month.

The unrest began in Amsterdam on Thursday evening when Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters following a Europa League football match between Ajax and Maccabi. Israeli fans were filmed engaging in violent confrontations, including removing Palestinian flags and attacking Arab taxi drivers.

Later Maccabi fans could be seen singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f---  the Arabs,” as well as tearing down another Palestinian flag.
