AMSTERDAM – Law enforcement officials in the Netherlands announced Friday that they have taken three more individuals into custody in connection with antisemitic incidents targeting Jewish places of worship.
Authorities detained two Dutch citizens, ages 20 and 23, for their suspected participation in an attack that occurred at a Rotterdam synagogue on March 13, according to prosecutors.
The latest arrests increase the total number of suspects held in connection with the Rotterdam incident to seven individuals.
In a separate case, officials also apprehended an 18-year-old man suspected of participating in preparations for an assault on a synagogue located in Heemstede.
Law enforcement had previously detained two juvenile suspects the prior week, who officials say were planning to detonate an explosive device at a synagogue in Heemstede, a community situated approximately 25 kilometers west of Amsterdam.
