<\/p>\n“It was a deliberate attack against the Jewish community.”<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An explosion has damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam, according to Dutch officials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Femke Halsema, the city’s mayor, claimed she believed the explosion was a “deliberate attack against the Jewish community”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The incident occurred early on Saturday, March 14. Damage to the school, located in an affluent residential neighbourhood on the south side of Amsterdam, is understood to be limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
No injuries have been reported, but police are investigating camera footage that appears to show the person who detonated the explosive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“This \u200bis a cowardly act \u200bof aggression against the Jewish community,” Ms \u200bHalsema said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“Jewish people in Amsterdam are \u2060increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable,” per Sky News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Security at Jewish schools and institutions, already tight, has been further strengthened following recent attacks on synagogues in Rotterdam and in Liege, Belgium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
There was also an attack on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, near Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday, where a Lebanese-born US citizen allegedly drove his car into the building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
According to authorities, the attacker, who was armed with a rifle, was fatally shot at Temple Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Fortunately, none of the synagogue’s staff, teachers or the 140 children at its early childhood centre were injured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Federal investigators believe the incident in Michigan was also an act of violence targeting the Jewish community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Concerns about possible attacks on Jewish communities worldwide have risen after joint US\u2013Israeli airstrikes on Iran and Tehran\u2019s subsequent military retaliation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
