Some 4,000 security forces were deployed to keep the peace in Paris as Israel's national soccer team faces France a week after antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam.

French police chief Laurent Nunez said 4,000 police officers and security staff will be deployed around the Stade de France, with another 1,500 police on public transport.

There will be a heavy police presence but few visiting fans at the soccer match between France and Israel in the Nations League.
