Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that the Jewish community in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, was targeted by an attack. Last night, unidentified attackers detonated a bomb at a Jewish school on Zeeburgerdijk in the Buikslotermeer district of Amsterdam. The Amsterdam police and firefighters responded quickly and arrived at the scene in time. Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema stated that the explosion did not cause significant damage. Halsema also added that the capital of the Netherlands must be safe for Jews living there.
Law enforcement officials identified the person who detonated the bomb through surveillance footage at the scene, and they are continuing to investigate the case. Dutch Defense Minister and local leader of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, Diederik Samsom, described the attacker's actions as "an extremely cowardly act." She said she hopes the perpetrator will be caught as soon as possible and called for continued efforts to combat anti-Semitic behavior.
In recent years, Jewish citizens around the world have faced increasingly dangerous situations. The actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government have exacerbated negative sentiments and aggressive behavior toward Jews.
