Warning ignored? Attack on Israeli fans in Amsterdam!

A dramatic incident shakes Amsterdam! Israeli football fans were targeted and the Dutch security forces were under high tension. According to reports from Israel, the Diiaspora Ministry was in the picture of planned attacks on an Israeli fan who works for border protection. A hotel where Israeli supporters stayed should also be the goal of an attack. The Dutch authorities were informed in good time to prevent worse things.

But that wasn't all! Before the big football game in the Johan-Cruijff-Arena, violent protest threatened. Around 200 demonstrators tried to get access to the venue on Thursday evening. The city administration had banned the rally at this location and assigned an alternative place nearby. Nevertheless, the security forces managed to keep the situation under control and to redirect the demonstrators.

warnings and reactions

The Israeli warnings did not come out of nowhere! The Diaspora Ministry had previously collected information about the planned attacks and shared them with the Netherlands. This proactive cooperation between the countries shows how serious the threat situation was assessed. The Dutch security forces were thus prepared and were able to react quickly to ensure the safety of the Israeli fans.
