"This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community. Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable."
"Police have security camera footage of a person planting an explosive device at the school. Mayor Femke Halsema said this was a deliberate attack against the Jewish community, with no injuries reported and damage limited."
"The explosion on Saturday is the latest in a spate of suspected attacks against Jewish institutions in recent weeks. Many of these incidents coincided with the US-Israeli war against Iran."
A Jewish school in Amsterdam experienced an explosion on Saturday in what authorities identified as a deliberate attack against the Jewish community. No injuries occurred and damage remained limited. Police obtained security camera footage showing a person planting the explosive device. Amsterdam's mayor condemned the act as cowardly aggression, noting that Jewish residents face increasing antisemitism. This incident represents part of a broader pattern of attacks on Jewish institutions across multiple countries. Recent incidents include an arson attack on a Rotterdam synagogue, an explosion at a Liege synagogue in Belgium, and a vehicle ramming at a Detroit synagogue in the United States. Security measures at Jewish institutions throughout the Netherlands have been heightened in response to these threats.
