Reports: Arab, North African gangs set tram alight in Amsterdam while chanting antisemitic slogans

Unverified posts on social media claim Arab and North African gangs who were behind mass violence against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last week have again taken to the streets of the Dutch capital, lighting fires, smashing windows and shouting antisemitic slogans.

Videos purport to show a fire on a tram on fire with shouts of “Cancer Jews” in the background.

Israeli officials said 10 citizens were injured in the violence Thursday, which followed a Maccabi Tel Aviv-Ajax soccer game. Hundreds more Israelis huddled in their hotels for hours, fearing they could be attacked. Many said that Dutch security forces were nowhere to be found.

There are no reports of injury in today’s incident.

Earlier, Dutch police said they had arrested another five people in connection with the wave of violence on Thursday that has been condemned internationally as antisemitic.

“Cancer Jews” they yell repeatedly before setting a train on fire in Amsterdam.

This comes days after violent mobs attacked Jews in the streets.
