The explosion at the school in an upscale residential neighbourhood on the \u2060south side of Amsterdam only caused limited damage, Mayor Femke Halsema said in a press release, as police and firefighters arrived at the scene quickly. Security at synagogues and Jewish institutions in the Dutch capital had already been heightened after an overnight arson \u2060attack at a synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam on Friday. In neighbouring Belgium, an explosion caused a fire at a synagogue in Liege on Monday. &#8220;This \u2060is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community,&#8221; Halsema said. &#8220;Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly \u2060confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable.&#8221; Concerns about possible attacks against Jewish communities around the world \u2060have risen following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and a subsequent response from Tehran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMSTERDAM(National Times)- An explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam early on Saturday, in what the city&#8217;s mayor described as &#8220;a deliberate attack against the Jewish community&#8221;.
