Israeli football fans ‘ambushed’ in Amsterdam attack – POLITICO

Assailants attacked Israeli football fans in Amsterdam on Thursday, with the Dutch prime minister vowing those responsible would be “tracked down and prosecuted.”

Supporters of Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv team were set upon as they departed Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena after a Europa League game against Dutch team Ajax.

Israel’s foreign ministry said in a statement on social media that the fans were “ambushed” and “brutally attacked,” blaming violent “mobs.” Footage of the incident appears to show people being chased and kicked to the ground, with one video showing passers-by being hit by a car at high speed.
