Italy's World Cup qualifier against Israel on Tuesday night was overshadowed by a large pro-Palestinian march in the northern Italian city of Udine, which was largely peaceful but ended in clashes between some of the protesters and police.
Italy won 3-0 in a match that was played four days after the ceasefire in Gaza took effect and the day after all 20 remaining living Israeli hostages were released and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel walked free as part of the agreement.
