Overview
- An overnight explosion damaged the outer wall of Cheider, Amsterdam’s only Orthodox Jewish school, with no injuries reported.
- Police launched a manhunt after CCTV showed two suspects arriving on a scooter, placing a device, and fleeing before the detonation.
- Videos posted by a little‑known group calling itself Ashab Al Yamim/Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right claim responsibility, which authorities say remains unverified.
- Dutch and Belgian investigators are analyzing the circulated footage and coordinating probes that also cover recent blasts at synagogues in Rotterdam and Liège.
- On Mar 16, police began investigating a separate explosion at an Amsterdam office building that the same group claimed, as national leaders condemned the attacks and security was strengthened at Jewish institutions.
