Israeli soccer fans attacked in incident linked to antisemitism in Amsterdam

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

Israeli and Dutch officials described the incident as antisemitic attacks.

At least five people were taken to the hospital and 62 individuals were arrested, police said in a statement. The precise circumstances that sparked the violence were not immediately clear but unverified video circulating on social media showed crowds running through the streets of central Amsterdam and a man being beaten.
