DFB takes action against pro-Israel banner – justification follows. German U21 national team took a decisive step towards European Championship qualification with an impressive 2-0 win against Israel.
However, the sporting triumph was marred by unrest in the stands at the Leuna Chemie Stadium in Halle. The trigger for the unrest was a banner with a Pro-Israel message that was presented in the stadium on Tuesday evening. The message referred to the approximately 130 Israeli hostages kidnapped and held by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
