The Amsterdam district court convicted five men involved in violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, highlighting a series of incidents sparked by broader socio-political tensions in the region.
The prosecutor emphasized that although the violence was influenced by the Gaza situation, it was not driven by anti-Semitic sentiment, indicating a complex socio-political backdrop.
The court found evidence of public violence linked to soccer fans, showing footage of a man kicking a person on the ground as part of the skirmishes.
Witness testimonies indicated the initial instigation of violence came from the Israeli football fans, contradicting narratives that portrayed them strictly as victims in the clashes.
