In Amsterdam, police detained several people protesting outside city hall despite a ban following violence between locals and Israeli soccer fans last week, a Reuters witness reported.

Authorities confirmed the arrest of six individuals as tensions remain high since the clashes involving Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax last Thursday.

Verified video footage showed Israeli fans participating in violence, including antisemitic actions, which resulted in injuries and condemnation from Dutch and foreign leaders. A protest ban remains in place as authorities manage ongoing unrest.
