Israel sends planes to save Jews from Amsterdam ‘pogroms’ (VIDEOS)

Several Israeli fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football team had been injured during riots after Thursday’s game against Dutch Ajax

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for two planes to be dispatched to Amsterdam to bring back Israeli fans who were violently assaulted by an anti-Israel mob in the Dutch city, according to the premier’s office.

Supporters of Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team were attacked in Amsterdam on Thursday night as they left the stadium after a Europa League match against Dutch side Ajax.

At least 10 Israelis have been injured in the attacks, but the severity of their injuries remains unclear, the Israeli Foreign Ministry stated, adding that the affected fans are currently out of contact and advising Israeli citizens not to leave their hotels.

Israel’s National Security Council has urged people not to display any Israeli or Jewish symbols in public.
