The coordinated attacks on fans of a Tel Aviv soccer team left a half-dozen people injured. Dutch and Israeli leaders have now condemned those hit-and-run crimes as targeted antisemitic attacks.
Authorities in Antwerp said Snapchat users called for “action against Jews.” That prompted a police alert which resulted in the six arrests. Those arrests were made where groups of young people congregated in the city’s Jewish area.
Fears of additional copycat attacks are growing. Israel’s National Security Council has warned its citizens to avoid cultural and sporting events in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Great Britain.
