Israeli Soccer Fans Attacked in Amsterdam: Evacuation Efforts Underway

Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam were subjected to a violent antisemitic attack following a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and AFC Ajax. Victims described the assault as a "pogrom," likening it to a modern-day Kristallnacht. The attackers, reportedly organized, targeted Jewish individuals, leaving several injured and hospitalized. Despite the severity of the attacks, victims criticized the Amsterdam police for their inaction, attributing it to antisemitism and fear of the city's immigrant Muslim population. Over 60 people were arrested in connection with the violence.
