Israel's Match in Italy: Snipers on the Stadium Roof Amid Protest Threats.
Snipers at the Stadium Before the World Cup Qualifying Match
According to The Sun: Snipers were spotted on the roof of the stadium ahead of an important World Cup qualifying match between Israel and Italy.
This game has been designated as a high-risk event, despite a recent ceasefire that paused a two-year war in Gaza.
GettyA mass march announced by pro-communist activists is expected to begin in the city center a few hours before the match starts, with approximately 10,000 participants forecasted.
The march will take place far from the stadium in Udine, which is on the outskirts of the city.
Snipers have taken their positions on the roof of the arena ahead of the arrival of the Israeli team's bus, which will have maximum security measures and military escort.
This area has been declared a 'red zone', and only ticketed fans will be able to pass through the high metal barriers.
Fans are advised to arrive early as all who wish to attend the match will have to go through metal detectors.
Just over 9,000 tickets have been sold for the match, although the stadium has a capacity of 25,000.
