Amsterdam Attacks on Israel Football Fans Condemned by Mayor | BBC News

Nov 8, 2024 | Amsterdam's mayor has condemned "hit and run" attacks on Israeli football fans visiting the city.

Mayor Femke Halsema said the city is looking back at a "black night and a dark day". She said men on scooters roamed the city attacking supporters after trouble between Maccabi Tel Aviv football club fans and pro-Palestinian protesters.

Amsterdam police chief Peter Holla said Maccabi supporters attacked a taxi and set a Palestinian flag on fire on Wednesday.
