Israel's government Friday said it sent two rescue planes to Amsterdam to evacuate its citizens who were injured in an outbreak of violence linked to a Europa League soccer game. Israeli and Dutch officials described the incident as antisemitic attacks.

The US special envoy on antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt, said she was horrified by the attacks in Amsterdam, which were "terribly reminiscent of a classic pogrom" and that she was deeply disturbed by how long they had lasted.

Dutch officials say young people on scooters attacked Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam after calls to target Jewish people spread on social media.
