According to authorities, there was an attack on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam

Israel said on Friday it was sending planes to evacuate nationals from the Dutch capital Amsterdam after authorities in both countries condemned violence against Israeli soccer fans.

Amsterdam police said early Friday that at least five people were injured and at least 62 people were arrested. Videos circulated on social media, geolocated by NBC News, showing violence on the city's streets.

Video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam chanting “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win.” We will fuck the Arabs” and tear down a Palestinian flag.

Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema's office described the events following the Europa League match between Dutch giants Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which the hosts won 5-0, were “very turbulent, with several incidents of violence against Maccabi supporters”.

“There were attacks on supporters in several places in the city,” the mayor’s office said. Officials said police had to intervene several times and escort Israeli fans to their hotels. “This outburst of violence against Israeli supporters is unacceptable and cannot be defended in any way. “There is no excuse for the anti-Semitic behavior of the rioters who actively sought out and attacked Israeli supporters last night,” it added.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he was “appalled by the anti-Semitic attacks on Israeli citizens.”

He called the violence “completely unacceptable” and said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by telephone “to emphasize that the perpetrators will be identified and prosecuted.”

The Israeli embassy in Amsterdam said fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team were “ambushed and attacked” after a game in the city as “crowds chanted anti-Israel slogans and proudly shared videos of their violence on social media.”

A video shared on social media and geolocated by NBC News near Amsterdam Central Station appeared to show people chasing and physically attacking others.

Dutch police said they were also aware of “reports of a possible hostage-taking and missing persons, but currently have no confirmation that this has actually taken place.”

Authorities did not provide further details on the latter incident but said they were investigating the matter.

Local police said pro-Palestinian protesters tried to reach the Johan Cruyff Stadium despite the city banning protests near the site, Reuters reported.

Police said fans were able to leave the stadium without incident, but clashes broke out in the city center overnight, according to Reuters.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he trusts that authorities in the Netherlands “would act immediately and take all necessary measures to protect, locate and rescue all Israelis and Jews under attack and to halt violence against Jewish and Israeli citizens.” to eliminate it by any means necessary.”

U.S. Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, condemned the incident, saying it was “terribly reminiscent of a classic pogrom.”

Lipstadt said she was also “deeply disturbed by how long the reported attacks lasted and called on the government to conduct a thorough investigation into the intervention of security forces and the manner in which these despicable attacks took place.”

Thursday night's events came as Israel continued its deadly offensive in Gaza, where local officials said more than 43,000 people were killed in the year-long onslaught that began after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in which, according to Israeli officials, around 1,200 people were killed and 250 more were taken hostage.

Israel has also waged a months-long offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, as members of the international community seek to prevent an all-out war in the region.
