Thousands of Turkish fans booed Maccabi Tel Aviv players as they went on the pitch to warm up ahead of their Europa League game against Besiktas on Thursday, prompting Turkish officials to start playing loud music to drown out the noise.
Security was tight at Besiktas' Inonu stadium in Istanbul amid tensions with Israel over its refusal to apologize for a raid on a Gaza-bound ship last year that killed nine Turkish activists. More than 2,000 policemen were deployed in and around the stadium, NTV television said.
About a dozen Israeli fans were seen inside a stand protected by netting all around to shield them from possible projectiles. Some Turkish fans shouted obscenities about Israel but the match ended without any incident as Besiktas trounced Maccabi 5-1.
