Israel sends planes to save Jews from Amsterdam ‘pogroms’ (VIDEOS)

Several Israeli fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team had been injured during riots after Thursday’s game against Dutch Ajax

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for two planes to be dispatched to Amsterdam to bring back Israeli fans who had been violently assaulted by an anti-Israel mob in the Dutch city, the premier’s office has announced.

Supporters of Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team were attacked in Amsterdam on Thursday night as they left the stadium following a Europa League game against Dutch side Ajax.

At least 10 Israelis have been hurt in the attacks, but it’s unclear how severe the injuries are, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement, adding that the affected fans are currently out of touch and that it’s advising Israeli citizens not to leave their hotels.

Israel’s National Security Council has asked people not to display any Israeli or Jewish symbols in public.

Netanyahu has urged Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and local law enforcement “to act decisively and swiftly against the rioters, and to ensure the wellbeing of our citizens.”

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon has slammed the violence as “a pogrom.”

“These are the true faces of the supporters of the radical terrorism we are fighting. The western world needs to wake up now!!” he wrote in a post on X.

The embassy shared a video on social media that showed what it said were violent incidents involving Maccabi fans.
