“Israeli soccer fans were ambushed and brutally assaulted in Amsterdam overnight Thursday by a mob shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ leading the Jewish state’s government to send planes to evacuate its citizens, officials said. Hundreds of fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club were targeted as they walked out of the stadium following a Europa League game against a Dutch team, AFC Ajax, the Israeli Embassy to the United States said. The embassy also shared footage of the attacks, including one assailant that screamed ‘Free Palestine’ as a victim cowered in fear. … Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar requested the Dutch government help Israelis reach the airport safely in a phone call with his Dutch counterpart Caspar Veldkamp Friday. Sa’ar said at least 10 citizens were injured, CNN reported.” (11/08/24)
