Israel's national football team wore black armbands in their Nations League clash against Ireland on Sunday to commemorate the victims of Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, after Irish players wore them to protest the war in Gaza. The simple black armbands were inscribed with the numbers "7.10" to mark the date of the attack. The move comes a week after the teams played at a near-empty stadium in Hungary, with Irish players bowing their heads during Israel's national anthem and no exchange of handshakes over Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
