Israeli media and politicians reacted with shock to the violence, calling it some of the most serious seen since the start of the Gaza war more than a year ago.
The largest-selling newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, quoted Israeli fans who said the attacks appeared to be planned.
The Israeli military said it was preparing to immediately deploy a rescue mission with the co-ordination of the Dutch government after the soccer game, in which Ajax defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 5-0.
“The mission will be deployed using cargo aircraft and include medical and rescue teams,” the IDF said.
The Gaza war has sparked protests in support of both sides across Europe and the United States, and Arabs and Jews have been attacked.
Anti-Muslim politician Geert Wilders, leader of the largest party in the Dutch government, condemned the reported Amsterdam attacks in a post on X.
“Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands. Totally unacceptable,” he said.
