Israeli Soccer Fans Attacked In Amsterdam

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the dispatch of two planes to Amsterdam to evacuate Israeli soccer fans who were attacked by an alleged Pro-Palestinian mob on Thursday night.

The fans had travelled to the Netherlands to watch the Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Ajax Amsterdam.

The assault began after Maccabi Tel Aviv’s loss to Ajax, with attackers targeting Israelis at various locations across the city, chanting “Free Palestine” and throwing insults in Arabic.

At least 10 Israelis were injured in the violence, with some reports suggesting that two individuals are still unaccounted for. Additionally, attackers stole passports from some of the targeted individuals.

Israel Foreign Ministry has advised its citizens in the Netherlands to remain indoors and avoid going out, while Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has asked Dutch authorities to help Israelis safely reach the airport.
