On 7 November 2024, following a UEFA Europa League football match in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, between Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Dutch club AFC Ajax, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were targeted in a series of attacks.[4] Maccabi Tel Aviv fans had been filmed beforehand pulling down[5] Palestinian flags and chanting anti-Arab slurs.[1][3][6] A report in De Telegraaf indicated the attacks on Israelis were pre-planned.[7]
During the attacks, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were reportedly ambushed and assaulted in various locations across the city.[4] Dutch police stated that the perpetrators "actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them"[8] and confirmed the detention of 62 people.[4] Five people were hospitalized, while 20 to 30 other supporters sustained minor injuries.[9]
The attacks were described by Dutch authorities as antisemitic, with statements of condemnation from both the Dutch and Israeli governments.[4][10] Jewish news reports have described this incident as a pogrom.[11][12]
