On Sunday, Israel issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid participating in international cultural and sports events. This comes in the wake of last week's aggression targeting Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam.
According to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, intelligence reports indicate that pro-Palestinian groups are planning attacks on Israelis in cities across the Netherlands, the UK, France, Belgium, and other nations.
Amsterdam experienced violent incidents on Friday, which its mayor described as 'antisemitic hit-and-run squads' assaulting Israeli soccer fans. In response, Israel dispatched aircraft to retrieve its citizens from the Netherlands.
