Attackers assaulted Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, leaving five hospitalised

Israeli fans were attacked on Thursday night following a football match in Amsterdam after large crowds of Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were filmed chanting anti-Arab slogans in the streets before the game. Five people were hospitalised and dozens were arrested. Tension had been growing in the days before the match, with a Dutch broadcaster reporting that a Palestinian flag had been ripped off a building in the center of the city on Wednesday.
