The violence erupted around the Thursday Europa League match at Amsterdam's Johan Cruijff Arena, with clashes between fans leading to multiple hospitalizations and arrests.
Mayor Femke Halsema stated there was 'no excuse' for the attacks on Israeli spectators, highlighting the chaotic and violent nature of the clashes.
Authorities have characterized the incidents as 'antisemitic attacks' and are investigating whether the suspects acted as an organized group.
Over 800 police officers were deployed, and emergency bylaws were enacted in Amsterdam to prevent further violence, including bans on protests and face coverings.
