Amsterdam Violence: Anti-Israel Protesters Clash With Police, Set Tram On Fire
Amsterdam sees renewed violence as dozens armed with sticks and firecrackers set a tram on fire, amid rising tensions after last week's clashes following the Maccabi Tel Aviv-Ajax match. Police quickly extinguished the fire and detained suspects, as investigations continued into the unrest. Dutch police announced five new arrests Monday in their investigation into that violence. The suspects are men aged 18 to 37 and are from Amsterdam or surrounding cities. Four are still in custody; the fifth has been released but remains a suspect.
