Violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam -

Violent attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are taking place in Amsterdam following the soccer match that took place Thursday evening between Maccabi and Ajax.

On Monday, Spain’s AS newspaper reported that a pro-Palestinian group was planning to protest outside the stadium, targeting the Israeli team and its fans, and on Tuesday, it was reported that in addition to Maccabi’s regular security, Mossad agents would join the team to provide additional protection.

Earlier on Thursday, the NL Times reported that several individuals had been arrested for riots. However, Amsterdam police did not confirm whether they were fans of the football club or pro-Palestinian supporters.

Additionally, local law enforcement provided protection to the hundreds of Maccabi supporters who showed up to watch the match.

AMSTERDAM, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Riot police in Amsterdam began breaking up a pro-Palestinian protest on Sunday after a court upheld a ban on demonstrations following clashes this week involving Israeli soccer fans.
Hundreds of demonstrators defied the prohibition to gather in the Dutch capital's Dam square, chanting demands for an end to violence in Gaza and "Free Palestine."
But after a local court ratified the city authorities' ban, police moved in, instructing protesters to leave. Several people were dragged away by police, a Reuters journalist saw.
