A Jewish school in Amsterdam<\/a> was hit by an explosion early on Saturday in what the city’s mayor called “a deliberate attack against the Jewish community.”<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported and damage was limited.<\/p>\n

Mayor Femke \u200bHalsema\u00a0said police have security camera footage of a person planting an explosive device at the school.<\/p>\n

“This is a cowardly \u200bact of aggression \u200cagainst the Jewish community,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly \u200bconfronted with antisemitism. \u2060This is unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Jewish institutions under threat<\/h2>\n

The explosion on Saturday is the latest in a spate of suspected attacks against Jewish institutions in recent weeks. Many of these incidents coincided with the US-Israeli war against Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a synagogue in the Dutch city of\u00a0Rotterdam targeted by an overnight arson attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Security at synagogues and Jewish institutions across the Netherlands had already been heightened after this incident.<\/p>\n

Earlier, on Monday, a synagogue in Liege in Belgium was also hit by an explosion<\/a> that sparked a fire.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the United States, a gunman rammed his car into a synagogue in Deroit<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n
