Another anti-Israel violence broke out on the streets of Amsterdam on Monday night when the rioters pelted fireworks and set a tram on fire, The Jerusalem Post reported citing local media reports.
The latest violence comes in the second wave of antisemitic attacks that took place last week which erupted after a Europa League football tie between Amsterdam club Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The emergency flights were flown to return the Israeli fans home after the assault.
The rioters, dressed in black and armed with fireworks, set alight one of the famous trams in the city, The Jerusalem Post reported citing De Telegraaf.
They threw debris and shouted “Kanker Joden" (cancer Jews), however, the words are used to mean “f*** the Jews." They also clashed with the police earlier in the day, the report said.
What Did The Police Say?
A police official said that a tram in the west part of the city was set ablaze, likely caused by fireworks thrown at it. The windows of the tram were also damaged.
No one was injured in the violence, as the tram was empty, the police spokesperson said.
According to the report, men covered their faces with masks and roamed the streets yelling “Free Palestine". The rioters ripped a bystander from his bike and beat him, De Telegraaf reported.
The private vehicles and bikes were also destroyed.
