Israeli Soccer Fans Attacked in Amsterdam Amid 'Free Palestine' Chants

Ten Israeli soccer fans were injured in Amsterdam after being attacked by individuals chanting 'Free Palestine' following a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax Amsterdam. The Israeli Foreign Ministry reported the injuries and noted that contact was lost with two Israelis. At least 30 arrests were made. The attacks, which appeared to be planned ambushes, were condemned by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged the Dutch government to act against the rioters. Rising tensions over the Gaza conflict were noted by Amsterdam's mayor, who had banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration near the stadium.
