Israeli football fans were attacked in “a serious incident of violence in Amsterdam” on Friday and the government sent planes to evacuate affected citizens, Israeli officials said.

Israel’s embassy in the United States said in a statement on social media platform he said.

The social media video shared by the embassy showed videos of what was said to be violence against Maccabi fans.

CNN has not yet been able to verify these videos.

Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar said that 10 citizens were injured and advised citizens to stay in hotels.

“The impression from the reports is that the situation has calmed down in the last hour,” Sa’ar said.

In a statement from his office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the violence “serious” and said he had ordered “the immediate release of two rescue planes” to help Israeli citizens.

The Israeli leader also called on Dutch authorities to “act decisively and quickly against the rebels and ensure the peace of our citizens.”

About thirty people have been arrested so far, Israel’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday. The statement did not specify when these arrests were made or who was arrested.

Maccabi fans were in the Dutch capital ahead of Thursday night’s Europa League match against Ajax.

Amsterdam police said they increased their presence in the city center on Wednesday night, citing “tensions” in various areas a day before the football match.

Police said in a statement about by unknown perpetrators.

Police also said a demonstration was planned near the stadium ahead of the football match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday.
