Overview
- Police responded to an early-morning report at the University of Utrecht's administration building and found dozens of smashed windows after attackers forced entry.
- Investigators say the perpetrators were a group of five dressed in dark clothing and are reviewing footage and physical evidence to identify suspects.
- Palestine Action Nederland claimed responsibility and published video that shows orange paint thrown at the entrance, fire extinguishers hurled at windows and a hammer used to break glass.
- The university's College van Bestuur condemned the attack and said it will file a criminal complaint while Utrecht's mayor publicly denounced the action.
- The vandalism continues a direct-action campaign against the university’s ties to Israeli institutions that municipal officials say has already caused roughly €500,000 in damage and could lead to further legal and security responses.
