The streets of Amsterdam turned chaotic after the match between Ajax in the Netherlands and the Maccabi Tel Aviv team in Israel.

Ajax fans, the home team that won 5-0, massively assaulted Israeli soccer fans.

In Europe, hooligans, so-called fierce soccer fans, often clash with each other.

But Israel sees the situation differently.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called it a "planned anti-Semitic attack" on Israeli citizens.

Israel's prime minister's office says Netanyahu has dispatched two transport planes and ordered them to repatriate their citizens.

The Israeli military is going to be deployed here.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said more than 10 of his citizens were injured and advised them to stay in hotels for now.

It also added that it had asked the Dutch government to cooperate to ensure that its citizens arrived safely at the airport.Dutch Prime Minister Dick Szhoff
also called the incident an unacceptable anti-Semitic attack on Israelis on social media.

Reuters, which secured the footage, said the nature of the attack was not yet clear.

Dutch police are said to have arrested at least 57 people at the scene of the incident and are investigating.
