Five people have been hospitalised after violence broke out in Amsterdam following a Europa League match between Ajax and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv. Videos posted on social media showing Israeli fans being attacked prompted Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to send two planes to Amsterdam to help repatriate Israeli nationals. As fans of both teams, Ajax and Maccabi, gathered in the city, police said were on alert and monitoring several incidents including the tearing down of a Palestinian flag from a building before the match.
