Five people were taken to hospital, and dozens arrested. Israel’s Prime Minister has likened it to the pogroms of the last century.
The violence followed a day and a half of tension, with some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans ripping down Palestinian flags and chanting racist, anti-Arab slogans.
And a warning, this report contains images of violence that some viewers may find distressing.
