An overnight explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam, with the city's mayor denouncing the blast as a "cowardly act of aggression." Police are investigating the incident and have CCTV footage of a suspect placing the explosive device.
No injuries were reported, and the damage was described as limited. However, officials noted a rise in antisemitism targeting Amsterdam's Jewish community. The Dutch Prime Minister stated that "Antisemitism has no place in the Netherlands" and pledged to meet with the Jewish community to address their safety concerns.
The incident follows a series of recent attacks on synagogues in Europe and the United States, occurring amidst broader regional conflicts. Authorities have arrested suspects in connection with a previous attack in Rotterdam.
