Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has condemned violent attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam Thursday night. Video shows some Israelis ripping down a Palestinian flag and chanting antiArab slogans the day before, suggesting tensions had been simmering.

Note: Questions about the nationalities of people featured in some eyewitness video contained in this report emerged after original broadcast and publication. CBC News cannot independently verify the nationalities of the attackers.
