VARIOUS OF POLICE IN HELMETS AND GAS MASKS STANDING OUTSIDE STADIUM STORY: The World Cup qualifier between Norway and Israel in Oslo on Saturday (October 11) was marked by protests and a heavy security response, including the use of tear gas, with Norwegian fans divided over Israel’s participation in the tournament due to the war in Gaza. Ahead of the game, hundreds of pro-Palestinian supporters gathered to protest outside the Norwegian parliament, with many wearing the jerseys of the Palestine national team. Marching towards Ullevaal Stadium with Palestinian flags and flares, the protesters gathered outside, vowing to continue until kickoff as nearby buildings displayed pro-Palestinian banners hanging from balconies. Security was tight around the stadium, with police closing several entrances hours before the match started, conducting bag searches, and reducing the number of spectators allowed in. Later, Norwegian police confirmed they had used tear gas on a group of protesters who attempted to breach the barricades surrounding the stadium as the match was being played. The police also arrested several demonstrators, according news agency NTB. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's assault on Gaza, launched after Hamas-led militants stormed through Israeli towns and a music festival on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and capturing 251 hostages. Israeli troops began withdrawing on Friday (October 10) under a peace agreement, which is the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war between Israel and the Hamas militant group.
