At least five fans sustained serious injuries, while others sought refuge in shops.
Security measures around the match were intensified due to concerns about potential confrontations, which unfortunately materialized despite the precautions.
Dutch police: 30 protesters have been arrested so far.
Israel’s ambassador to the Netherlands, Modi Ephraim, manages, on behalf of the state, the operation to protect the Israelis who were attacked in Amsterdam. He informed the authorities in Israel that 600 police officers were sent to the hotels in the Dutch capital to protect the fans. The event is still ongoing.
Prime Minister Netanyahu is now working directly with the professionals in Amsterdam and will soon speak with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the premier has called for two planes to be dispatched to Amsterdam to bring back Israelis there, after fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club were violently assaulted in the Dutch city by an apparent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel mob.
A statement from the PMO quotes Netanyahu calling on Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and local security forces “to act decisively and swiftly against the rioters, and to ensure the wellbeing of our citizens.”
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon denounces the violences as “a pogrom.”
“These are the true faces of the supporters of the radical terrorism we are fighting. The western world needs to wake up now!!” he writes in a post on X.
The National Security Council issues a similar instruction, while calling on those who are out in public not display any Israeli or Jewish symbols.
Citing information from Dutch authorities, the Foreign Ministry says 10 Israelis were hurt in the attacks in Amsterdam on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.
A statement from the ministry says the severity of the injuries are unclear.
The Foreign Ministry also says that Israelis are currently out of touch, and that it’s advising Israeli citizens not to leave their hotels.
We are horrified by the video footage coming out of Amsterdam that appears to show Maccabi Tel Aviv fans facing violent assault outside a soccer stadium. We're continuing to monitor. https://t.co/ixjkJIIV1I

פוגרום מזעזע מתרחש ברגעים אלו באמסטרדם.
אני מקבל שיחות והודעות מאנשים שנמצאים באמסטרדם, שמספרים כי הרשויות ההולנדיות אינן מסייעות להם כלל ולא נוקטות פעולה כדי להשתלט על המצב.
יהודים נאלצים להתבצר ולהסתתר בעוד האלימות ממשיכה להשתולל ברחובות. האירוע הזה הוא תזכורת לכך שהשנאה…

Urgent call for action!
I am receiving videos and evidence of Israeli sports-tourists in Amsterdam being brutally attacked.
What I see seems to be life-threatening: innocent people being run-over, beaten, driven into a river and more.
I call on the Dutch authorities to act…

Straight up monsters
Thank god Islam is a peaceful religion. 8magine if it was a violent o e
Clearly schengen cannot continue, as this doesn’t leave any control on movement of vicious Arab savages
“unfortunately materialized”. It didn’t unfortunately materialize. It was planned and police did not show up right away.
For a long time, amsterdam has been antisemitic..
Not Pashut! Freaky!
Get those Israelis out of this Anti Semitic land!
I see they started up with the wrong gang!!
They were not attacked by Arabs. They were attacked by muslims. Turkey and Iran are not Arab countries.
12-17% of Amsterdam is Muslim. (90,000). That’s their shvartze issue. It’s worse for jews there though because many cops and politicians are Nazi sympathizers and don’t mind (to put a mildly) these attacks. Jews need to stay out of these rotten poisonous places.
Must we wait for this to begin happening in the sweet American Galut.
OK, I know that I’m going to receive many “thumbs down”, (better than the rotten tomatoes Ziede got). And I also know that it’s not easy to pick up and leave, but at least get your passports ready.
I continue davening that we’ll see you here ברחמים without being forced to run.
