A Muslim terrorist group claimed responsibility for a small explosion at a Jewish school in Amsterdam, releasing a video showing the blast. No injuries were reported, but damage was caused to the building.
The group, calling itself “The Islamic Movement of Right-Wing Youth,” posted footage online showing the explosion outside the school.
Explosion incident at a Jewish synagogue in Amsterdam
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said the incident was a targeted attack against the city’s Jewish community, according to Dutch news agency ANP.
Authorities said the group was not known to security services before this week.
The organization has already claimed responsibility for similar attacks against Jewish sites in Europe, including incidents at synagogues in Liege, Belgium, and Rotterdam in the Netherlands. It also claimed responsibility for an attack in Greece, though it did not provide details.
In both the Liege and Rotterdam incidents, the group released videos online claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Dutch authorities are investigating the explosion and the organization behind it. No further details about suspects or arrests were immediately available.
