Dressed in military uniform, he fired a machine gun and threw a grenade. Zalka is a reserve in the army's paratrooper brigade and has previously served in Gaza. His actions have led to calls from football officials and fans for FIFA to ban the Israeli Football Association due to breaches of anti-discrimination obligations, despite a recent fine imposed on them.
