Dutch police on Saturday said they were investigating reports of an explosion overnight at the Israel Centre in the central Dutch town of Nijkerk. According to Israeli media, there were no reports of injuries, and the damage at the site, run by the Christians for Israel charity, was minimal, a police statement posted on social media said.
“This attack affects not only us but is also a signal to the Jewish community in the Netherlands, which has long been confronted with threats and intimidation. This is a cause for great concern to us,” the statement said.
The Israel Centre houses Christenen voor Israel, a Dutch-Christian organisation whose stated goal is “to be in solidarity with Israel and combat all forms of antisemitism,” according to the Jerusalem Post.
