JERUSALEM - Israel’s foreign ministry declared an “antisemitism epidemic” sweeping the Netherlands following an explosion targeting a Jewish school in Amsterdam. Authorities launched an investigation after the overnight blast occurred between March 13 and 14.

The incident marks the third attack in recent days across the region, following bombings outside synagogues in Rotterdam and Liege. President Isaac Herzog urged Dutch authorities to intensify combat against terror directed at Jewish communities. The violence escalates amid heightened regional tensions since the February 28 launch of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran.
