Amsterdam Unrest: Arrests and Violence Against Israeli Fans
In Amsterdam, a tram was set on fire by individuals armed with sticks and firecrackers, amid ongoing unrest following recent attacks on Israeli football fans. The incident occurred at '40-'45 Square, where police quickly extinguished the fire and made several arrests. This unrest follows a pro-Palestinian protest that was broken up by riot police. Five additional arrests were made related to the attacks on Israeli fans, which have been condemned as antisemitic by Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof. Tensions had escalated after Maccabi Tel Aviv fans engaged in provocative acts, leading to clashes.
