Violence Erupts in Amsterdam as Israeli Football Fans Targeted

Israeli football fans in Amsterdam faced violent attacks ahead of a Europa League match against Ajax, prompting a significant police response. Despite efforts to ensure safety, several fans were injured, leading Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof to condemn the incidents as antisemitic attacks. Authorities detained 57 people, with unrest escalating after the game, marked by pro-Palestinian protesters clashing with Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters. Videos of the violence surfaced online, including footage of severe assaults. Israeli President Isaac Herzog labeled the chaos a ‘pogrom’ against Israeli citizens, demanding accountability from local authorities.
