Dutch police forces intervened to disperse a protest in Amsterdam today, reportedly due to heightened tensions linked to recent events. Several demonstrators waving Palestinian flags were detained.

Dutch police on Monday said they had arrested five more people for their suspected involvement in attacks on Israeli football supporters late last week which authorities have condemned as antisemitic.

Amsterdam authorities are preparing for another night of protests just one day after three people were arrested for smashing a window of a tram. This comes days after an attack on Israeli soccer fans.

Dozens of people armed with sticks and firecrackers set a tram on fire in Amsterdam on Monday, police said, while the city is facing tensions following violence last week targeting fans of an Israeli soccer club.

As incidents of both antisemitic and Islamaphobic abuse surge across Europe, a soccer match between Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax of Amsterdam sparked violence in the Dutch capital and a firestorm of controversy.

Five new arrests have been made over the violence surrounding a soccer game last week involving Israeli fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Dutch police said Monday.
