Officials said friction had been growing in the lead-up to the soccer match, with the antisemites who led the attack calling for an organized “Jew hunt” in the city.

Israel's government sent two rescue planes to Amsterdam to evacuate its citizens who were injured in an outbreak of violence linked to a soccer game.

Amsterdam banned demonstrations for three days from Friday after overnight attacks on Israeli soccer supporters by what the mayor called "antisemitic hit-and-run squads", and Israel sent planes to the Netherlands to fly fans home.
