Amsterdam police reported that five individuals were hospitalized and 62 were arrested following a violent incident targeting Israeli soccer fans after a match. The Dutch counterterror watchdog assured that there was no specific threat to Israeli fans. The violence, described as systematic antisemitic attacks, led to condemnation from Dutch and Israeli leaders as well as Jewish groups.
Security concerns have been heightened at matches involving Israeli teams due to global tensions related to conflicts in the Middle East. The Amsterdam police have initiated a major investigation into the violent incidents that occurred after the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
