Dutch officials probe soccer fan attack after missed warnings from Tel Aviv
Dutch authorities investigate assault on Israeli soccer fans that left five people hurt in Amsterdam. Government looks into possible missed warning signs while pursuing fast-track justice for attackers
Dutch justice minister David van Weel sent a late-night message to Parliament about checking if Tel-Avivʼs warnings were overlooked before the soccer fan attack (which happened just 2 days ago)
Five people needed hospital care after the attack on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters but got back home next day; law enforcement caught 63 people at first and now keeps 4 in jail. The police gave them special stop-and-search rights and dont allow any street protests this weekend
I am horrified by the anti-Semitic attacks on Israeli citizens
The government wants quick trials for everyone who took part in this mess — its their top job to find all bad guys. Videos from that night show both sides yelling mean stuff: some attackers used anti-Israeli words while Maccabi fans shouted anti-Arab things
Amsterdamʼs streets have been tense since the Middle-east fighting started about a year ago‚ with Jewish schools and groups getting lots of hate-mail. Tel-Aviv sent extra planes to get their fans home (but no-one knows exactly how many people flew back)
