Antisemitic rioters “actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack” after a football match in Amsterdam as Israel said it was sending planes to the Dutch capital to fly fans home.

An unknown number of Israeli supporters were injured in the violence on Thursday night that was condemned by the leaders of both the Netherlands and Israel as antisemitic.
