Netherlands increasing security measures after attack on Israelis

08 November 2024 22:41

The authorities in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, will implement additional security measures in the city following an attack on Israeli soccer fans after the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv football clubs.

Amsterdam authorities will increase police patrols across the city, with a particular focus on protecting Jewish institutions, following an attack on Israeli fans after the Ajax Amsterdam vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv football match. The city's officials condemned the surge in violence targeting Israelis and urged all victims to report the incidents to law enforcement officers, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

In a press conference, Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema announced that enhanced security measures would take effect immediately and remain in place throughout the weekend. During this period, authorities declared the entire city a "security risk zone" and imposed a ban on demonstrations.

Chief commissioner of Amsterdam's police Peter Holla stated that preparation for the match had been underway for several weeks, with 800 law enforcement officers involved in securing the event. He also confirmed that investigations are ongoing into reports of hostage-taking during the incident. 

At least 10 Israelis were injured in an attack believed to have been carried out by Palestine supporters following a football match between local club Ajax and Tel Aviv’s Maccabi, which took place in Amsterdam as part of the Europa League. Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) urged Israelis visiting Amsterdam to shelter in their hotels. The NSC also advised Israeli citizens who are able to do so to return to the country immediately.
