A mad day.
Reality and fantasy collide.
Propaganda versus decency.
The police are called. They investigate Israeli claims of assault and dismiss them completely.
There is still a football match to be played.

Can confirm. No embargo.
BREAKING: Serb cops have just turned up at stadium investigating alleged assault on Israel journalist. The two police officers spoke to Serb stadium manager, who then told me that the authorities aren't taking matter further after viewing video evidence. "Injured" party not here

A complete abdication of responsibility from Uefa not to have their match delegate present for Republic of Ireland press conference, in my opinion.
Chaotic, angry and co-ordinated scenes from Israeli journalists.
