Israeli football fans attacked in Amsterdam, officials say | BBC News


Violence broke out in Amsterdam last night as Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv was in the city for a Europa League match.

At least 62 people were arrested, Dutch police say, and five people taken to hospital.

There were arrests in Dam Square before the match, with reports of clashes between pro-Palestinian protesters and Maccabi fans. Videos seemingly showed visiting fans setting off fireworks, making racist chants about Arabs, and tearing down a Palestinian flag.

The Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned "antisemitic attacks" on Israelis, and said the city was now "calm".
