Some section of English fans booed the minute of silence observed before the Euro 2024 qualifiers match between England and Italy at the Wembley Stadium on Tuesday (Oct 17) evening.

Some section of English fans booed the minute of silence observed before the Euro 2024 qualifiers match between England and Italy at the Wembley Stadium on Tuesday (Oct 17) evening. The silence was observed in tribute to those affected by the terror strike in Brussels that killed two, earlier this week. UEFA, the governing body of football for the European continent issued an advisory on Tuesday, informing about the decision to observe moment of silence at all EURO 2024 qualifying matches on the day. "UEFA can confirm that a moment of silence will be observed at all UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying matches tonight in memory of all the members of the European football family killed in recent days in Europe and Israel," read the advisory by UEFA. Before the kickoff, the stadium public address informed about the silence while the giant display screens carried the message. However, a few seconds into the silence, boos started ringing around the iconic stadium with some shouting 'free Palestine' slogans. According to some fans, the boos were in response to the statement by UEFA that had no mention of Palestine or the current grim humanitarian situation there. "They booed because the announcer said it was for Israeli and the Brussels attack and deaths, no mention of Palestine or the Palestinians getting slaughtered, do you think we don't see you? #FreePalestine Fans at Wembley boo over silence for victims of Brussels and Israel…," said one X user. Meanwhile, others slammed the fans for the move: "John Stones rightfully cheesed off that we can't hold a minute's silence because of some s***heads." England vs Italy England came into the contest, needing a point to qualify for the Euro 2024. The three lions, however, were off to a poor start when Scamacca raided the six-yard box and rifled the ball to the roof of the England net in the 15th minute. After going behind, Southgate's men increased the intensity with Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham starting the comeback. The 20-year-old arrived in the box before being tripped over by De Lorenzo as the referee pointed to the spot for a penalty. Captain Harry Kane stepped up and smashed one to the left side of the keeper to equalise. In the second half, it was Bellingham that busted across the halfway line before releasing Marcus Rashford who calmly dispatched the ball past a still Gianluigi Donnarumma. Afterwards, Kane applied the fishing touches in the 77th minute by collecting his second for the night and completing a comprehensive performance for the hosts.

Israel-Palestine war: Protest erupt after attack on Gaza Hospital

Palestine, on Wednesday, called out Israel on its denial of involvement in the tragic Gaza hospital blast. Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian Ambassador to the UN, called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" and countered his claims that Hamas was behind the attack.

The Palestinian envoy claimed that Israeli forces were behind the strike and said that they had proof, a deleted X (formerly Twitter) post made by Israel.

<h2>What proof does Palestine have?</h2>

Hitting out at the Israeli PM, Mansour said, "He is a liar."&nbsp;

The diplomat claimed that they have a copy of a now-deleted post made by Israel in which the nation allegedly admitted that they hit a Hamas base in the area.

He said that Netanyahu's "digital spokesperson tweeted that Israel did the hit thinking that there was a base for Hamas around this hospital, and then he deleted that tweet. We have a copy of that tweet."

"Now they changed the story to try to blame the Palestinians," he alleged, adding, "The Israeli spokesperson of the Army made a statement in which he said evacuate the hospitals... Their intention is to evacuate or hospitals will be hit and they are responsible for that crime and they cannot fabricate stories to deal with it."

As per news agency ANI, Mansour in his statement also demanded for immediate ceasefire.

"We as an Arab Group demand immediately a ceasefire because the continuation of the war, it means killing more Palestinians every moment."

<h2>Exchanging blames</h2>

Earlier, in a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that intelligence from several sources revealed that "Islamic Jihad terrorists" were responsible for the strike, which was an unsuccessful rocket launch.

Taking to social media platform X, he said: "An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit."&nbsp;

On Tuesday, Tal Heinrich, a spokesperson for Netanyahu, told CNN that IDF "does not target hospitals," adding "we only target Hamas strongholds, arms depots, and terror targets."
