Maccabi Tel Aviv FC supporters were reportedly the target of violence in Amsterdam Thursday before and during the soccer team’s match against Ajax, APA reports citing Fox News.
Videos posted on social media appeared to show multiple fights in streets.
Spanish media reported earlier in the week anti-Israel agitators would protest outside the stadium where the match was being played, targeting the club and its fans.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says that he has been in “constant contact” with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Defense Minister Israel Katz and the Israel Police after fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club were violently assaulted in the Dutch city by an apparent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel mob, according to The Times of Israel.
Israeli authorities are working with their Dutch counterparts to “rescue the Israeli citizens and to investigate the severe lynching incident,” he says.
