Israel’s Foreign Ministry said on Saturday (March 14, 2026) that “an antisemitism epidemic is raging” in the Netherlands, after an overnight blast outside a Jewish school in Amsterdam.

“Where will the next attack be? The Dutch Government needs to do much more to fight antisemitism,” the Ministry said, in a social media post.

An overnight explosion against an exterior wall of a Jewish school in Amsterdam caused no injuries, and authorities have opened an investigation into the incident.

The incident comes after night-time attacks this week in front of synagogues in the Belgian city of Liege and the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.

The series of attacks comes after the February 28 launch of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, a conflict that has since broadened across the Middle East.

An explosion ‌damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam ​early on Saturday (March 14, 2026), ⁠in what the city’s mayor described as “a deliberate attack against the Jewish community”.

The ‌explosion at the school in an upscale ‌residential neighbourhood on the south ‌side ⁠of Amsterdam only ⁠caused limited damage, Mayor Femke Halsema said in a press release, as police and ​firefighters arrived ‌at the scene quickly.

No injuries were reported.

Security at synagogues and Jewish institutions in ‌the Dutch capital had already ​been heightened after an overnight arson attack at a ⁠synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam on Friday (March 13, 2026).

In neighbouring ‌Belgium, an explosion caused a fire at a synagogue in Liege on Monday (March 9, 2026).

“This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community,” ‌Ms. Halsema said.

“Jewish people in Amsterdam ​are increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable.”

Concerns about ⁠possible attacks against Jewish communities around ⁠the world have risen following U.S. and Israeli ‌attacks on Iran and a subsequent response from Tehran.
