In Amsterdam, sentences have been handed down in the case regarding the attacks on Israelis.

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

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

The local Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI) deemed the sentences too lenient, considering the reportedly antisemitic nature of the incidents. The organization's director, Naomi Mestrum, stated that the fact that the sentences were lighter than what the prosecution demanded is a "disheartening 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 attackers carried Palestinian flags and shouted pro-Palestinian slogans. The assailants also attempted to break into hotels where the Israelis were staying.

The events sparked a strong international reaction. About 60 victims are insisting on compensation.

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

Currently, Dutch courts are reviewing cases against another 40 defendants, including Israeli citizens.
