40 arrests at France-Israel football match in Paris

PARIS, Nov 15 (AFP) : Police made 40 arrests at a tense football match between France and Israel in Paris but the city's police chief said on Friday the huge security operation had "worked very well".
The Nations League game at the Stade de France on Thursday took place under intense security after fans of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv were attacked in Amsterdam last week. Around 4,000 police and members of the French security forces patrolled inside and outside the stadium, assisted by 1,600 civilian security personnel.
