Israel's national football team wore black armbands during their Nations League match against Ireland on Sunday to commemorate victims of Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, Al-Monitor reported. The gesture came after Irish players had worn armbands to protest the war in Gaza.
Both teams used the black armband at the fixture, each signaling a different message about the conflict and its toll.
