Wembley silence for innocent victims in Israel and Palestine - FA

A period of silence will be held before England's game with Australia for "the innocent victims of the devastating events in Israel and Palestine".

More than 1,200 people have been killed after Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a series of attacks on Israel.

Israel then launched air strikes on Gaza and stopped food, water, fuel and medicine going into the territory.

More than 1,300 people have been killed in Gaza since the retaliatory strikes, with 338,000 displaced.

"On Friday evening, we will remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in Israel and Palestine," said an FA statement.

"Our thoughts are with them, and their families and friends in England and Australia and with all the communities who are affected by this ongoing conflict.

"We stand for humanity and an end to the death, violence, fear and suffering.

"Following discussions with partners and external stakeholders, we will only permit flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality for the competing nations inside Wembley Stadium for the upcoming matches against Australia [13 October] and Italy [17 October]."
