AMSTERDAM — An explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam early on Saturday, in what the city's mayor described as "a deliberate attack against the Jewish community".
The explosion at the school in an upscale residential neighbourhood on the south side of Amsterdam damaged a rainpipe and charred an outer wall, and caused no injuries.
Mayor Femke Halsema said the incident was taken very seriously, and would lead to increased security at Jewish institutions.
"This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community," Halsema said.
"Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable."
