Amsterdam banned protests for three days due to attacks on Israeli football fans
Amsterdam banned demonstrations for three days from Friday after overnight attacks on Israeli soccer supporters.
The Dutch city also gave police emergency stop-and-search powers in response to the unrest.
Dutch police said that five people required hospital treatment and that 62 arrests had been made. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered two planes to be sent to the Netherlands to bring back fans.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema described the attacks as being carried out by “antisemitic hit-and-run squads.”
