In Amsterdam, verdicts have been handed down in the case of attacks on Israelis.

A 32-year-old defendant received a six-month sentence after allegedly kicking a fan using a karate move, according to investigation reports. As a result, the victim narrowly avoided being hit by a tram, the newspaper Het Parool reported from the courtroom. The prosecution had previously sought a two-year prison term for him. The investigation noted that this defendant played a key role in the attacks on November 7 and 8. It was highlighted that video footage presented to the court shows this individual kicking and striking his victims.

In total, three defendants received sentences for violence and bodily harm. Two individuals were convicted for exchanging messages on social media calling for attacks on "Maccabi" fans. The sentences can be appealed within two weeks.

The local Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI) described the sentences as too lenient, considering the reportedly antisemitic nature of the events. Naomi Mestrum, the organization's director, stated that the fact the sentences were lighter than what the prosecution requested is a "disappointing signal."

On the evening of November 7, masked individuals attacked Israeli fans after a football match between Tel Aviv's "Maccabi" and the Dutch "Ajax." Some of the assailants carried Palestinian flags and shouted pro-Palestinian slogans. The attackers also attempted to storm hotels where the Israelis were staying.

The incidents sparked a strong international reaction. Around 60 victims are insisting on compensation.

At the same time, according to Amsterdam police, "Maccabi" fans also caused disturbances by tearing down Palestinian flags displayed on buildings and chanting anti-Arab slogans.

Currently, there are cases being reviewed by Dutch courts against another 40 defendants, including Israeli citizens.
