Overview
- An explosive device detonated outside the Cheider Jewish school in Amsterdam-Buitenveldert overnight Saturday, causing limited damage that Mayor Femke Halsema described as the result of a targeted attack.
- A day earlier an incendiary incident struck a synagogue in Rotterdam-Blijdorp, after which police arrested four suspects from Tilburg near another synagogue and searched their homes.
- Two suspects tied to the Amsterdam school explosion remain at large as police review camera footage and appeal for information.
- Justice Minister David van Weel said similarities in method and circulating, unverified claim videos mean a connection cannot be ruled out, and he is preparing additional measures with mayors, police and prosecutors.
- National police activated the NSGBO to coordinate security for Jewish institutions and said forces are on alert and working to identify and arrest those responsible.
