  • Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested

    Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested

    Amsterdam — Antisemitic rioters “actively sought out Israeli supporters to attack and assault them” after a soccer match in Amsterdam, authorities in the Netherlands said Friday, with police reporting five people hospitalized and 62 detained after a night of violence between. The police did not mention the nationality of any of those injured or arrested after the scenes of chaos in the Dutch capital. 

    Israel’s government said it was helping coordinate flights home for Israeli fans caught up in the violence.

    Israel was “doing everything to ensure the safety and security of our citizens who were brutally attacked in the horrific anti-Semitic incident in Amsterdam,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement. “It was decided that it was not necessary to send a professional rescue mission to the Netherlands. Instead, the effort will be focused on providing civil aviation solutions for the recovery of our citizens.”

    Israel’s airports authority said the first of two planes being sent to bring citizens of the country home had departed from Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv and was expected to arrive in Amsterdam within a few hours.

    Dutch leaders also condemned the violence against the Israeli fans as antisemitic.

    The attacks on fans of soccer club Maccabi Tel Aviv came after a Europa League soccer match between their team and the local Amsterdam team Ajax, but there had been clashes between the Israeli fans and locals before the game, too. 

    The violence erupted despite a ban on a pro-Palestinian demonstration near the soccer stadium imposed by Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema, who’d feared clashes would break out between protesters and supporters of the Israeli club.

    The violent clashes reportedly occurred around midnight local time, with numerous fights and acts of vandalism in central Amsterdam. Before the game, many Maccabi fans were among hundreds of people marching through Amsterdam in a pro-Israel demonstration, during which flares were lit and Palestinian flags hung on some streets were reportedly torn down. There were clashes with pro-Palestinian residents before the game.

    In an earlier statement, Netanyahu’s office had said that the prime minister ordered two “rescue planes” to be sent to Amseterdam to evacuate Israeli citizens, but that decision was later reversed. Netanyahu’s office also barred any members of the country’s military from flying to the Netherlands for an indefinite period.

    “The harsh pictures of the assault on our citizens in Amsterdam will not be overlooked,” Netanyahu’s office said, adding that Israel’s government “views the premeditated antisemitic attack against Israeli citizens with utmost gravity.” 

    Netanyahu’s office demanded the Dutch government take “vigorous and swift action” against those involved.

    Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said on social media that he followed reports of the violence “with horror.”

    “Completely unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis. I am in close contact with everyone involved,” he added, saying he’d spoken with Netanyahu and “emphasized that the perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted. It is now quiet in the capital.”

    In a post on the social media platform X, Israeli President Isaac Herzog Israel denounced the attacks as a “pogrom,” referring to the historic racist attacks on Jews in Russia and eastern Europe, and said they were reminiscent of the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel that sparked Israel’s ongoing wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

    The Israeli Embassy in Washington said on X that “hundreds” of Maccabi fans were “ambushed and attacked in Amsterdam tonight as they left the stadium following a game,” according to AFP. The embassy blamed the violence on a “mob who targeted innocent Israelis.”

    Geert Wilders, the far-right nationalist lawmaker whose Party for Freedom won elections in the Netherlands last year and who’s a staunch ally of Israel, reacted to a video apparently showing a Maccabi fan being surrounded by several men.

    “Looks like a Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam. Arrest and deport the multicultural scum that attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in our streets. Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands. Totally unacceptable,” Wilders said.

  • Pitching in: Dozens of young hockey teams in Burlington, Oakville help with annual fundraiser

    Pitching in: Dozens of young hockey teams in Burlington, Oakville help with annual fundraiser

    The organizer: Jean Longfield

    The pitch: Creating the Gift of Giving Back

    The reason: To teach children about philanthropy and support several charities

    Jean Longfield wanted her son to experience more than sports when he joined the Burlington Eagles hockey team at the age of nine.

    Ms. Longfield watched the boys pick out new hockey sticks, skates and other equipment and she thought about the less fortunate children in the community who didn’t have the same opportunities. So with the help of a couple of other parents, she got the team together and sent the boys out into the neighbourhood, having them go door-to-door asking for donations to the local food bank. They quickly filled up a couple of wagons and some hockey bags.

    “The kids loved it. It was a highlight in their year,” Ms. Longfield, 74, recalled from her home in Burlington, Ont.

    That outing led her to launch the Gift of Giving Back charity in 2005. Over the years, the food drive has expanded to several dozen hockey teams in Burlington and neighbouring Oakville. They all collect food and financial contributions for 10 organizations, including the Burlington Food Bank, Salvation Army, Kerr Street Mission and Halton Women’s Place.

    Every spring as the teams are selected, each captain is tasked with organizing players for the food drive, which kicks off in the fall. The donations are stored in the gymnasium of a high school that also joins the drive. Last year, the players and students collected $1-million worth of food and money.

    “Once we put the structure in place, the kids really, really embraced it,” Ms. Longfield said.

    She added that the charity is about more than food drives. “Our whole goal in this was to make our kids kinder and more compassionate and to know about the vulnerable people in the community, and about kids growing up in families where they need help,” she said.

    Ms. Longfield hopes hockey teams across the country will consider organizing a similar charity. “We’ve always known that kids can be extremely powerful change makers in a community, because we’ve always seen it. If you give them the guidance, the structure, the encouragement and the tools, they’ll take that and they’ll run with it.”

  • Australian police infiltrate encrypted messaging app Ghost and arrest dozens

    Australian police infiltrate encrypted messaging app Ghost and arrest dozens

    MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian police said Wednesday they have infiltrated Ghost, an encrypted global communications app developed for criminals, leading to dozens of arrests.

    The app’s alleged administrator, Jay Je Yoon Jung, 32, appeared in a Sydney court Wednesday on charges including supporting a criminal organization and benefitting from proceeds of crime.

    Jung did not enter pleas or apply to be released on bail. He will remain behind bars until his case returns to court in November.

    Australian police arrested 38 suspects in raids across four states in recent days while law enforcement agencies were also making arrests in Canada, Sweden, Ireland and Italy, Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Ian McCartney said.

    “We allege hundreds of criminals including Italian organized crime, motorcycle gang members, Middle Eastern organized crime and Korean organized crime have used Ghost in Australia and overseas to import illicit drugs and order killings,” McCartney told reporters.

    Australian police had prevented 50 people from being killed, kidnapped or seriously hurt by monitoring threats among 125,000 messages and 120 video calls since March, Assistant Commissioner Kirsty Schofield said.

    Police allege the Jung developed the app specifically for criminal use in 2017.

    Australia joined a Europol-led global taskforce targeting Ghost in 2022.

    Col. Florian Manet, who heads France’s Home Affairs Ministry National Cyber Command Technical Department, said in a statement issued by Australian police that his officers provided technical resources to the task force over several years that helped decrypt the communications.

    McCartney said the French had “provided a foot in the door” for Australian police to decrypt Ghost communications.

    Australian police technicians were able to modify software updates regularly pushed out by the administrator, McCartney said.

    “In effect, we infected the devices, enabling us to access the content on Australian devices,” McCartney said, adding that the alleged administrator lived in his parents’ Sydney home and had no police record.

    Jung was arrested at his home on Tuesday.

    Police say Jung used a network of resellers to offer specialized handsets to criminals around the world.

    The modified smartphones sold for 2,350 Australian dollars ($1,590) which included a six-month subscription to Ghost and tech support.

  • Dozens wounded after pagers detonate in Lebanon, media and security officials say

    Dozens wounded after pagers detonate in Lebanon, media and security officials say

    BEIRUT — Dozens of people were wounded in Beirut’s suburbs and other parts of Lebanon after their handheld pagers exploded Tuesday, Lebanese state media and security officials said. It wasn’t immediately clear if people were killed.

    A senior military intelligence official and an official with a Lebanese group with knowledge of the situation, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation said that pagers carried by Hezbollah members were detonated. The second official said it was believed to be an Israeli attack.

    The Associated Press reached out to the Israeli military, which declined to comment.

    Photos and videos from Beirut’s southern suburbs circulating on social media and in local media showed people lying on the pavement with wounds on their hands or near their pants pockets.

    Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah previously warned the group’s members not to carry cellphones, saying that they could be used by Israel to track their movements and to carry out targeted strikes.

    Lebanon’s Health Ministry called on all hospitals to be on alert to take in emergency patients and for people who own pagers to get away from them. It also asked health workers to avoid using wireless devices.

    AP photographers at area hospitals said the emergency rooms were overloaded with patients, many of them with injuries to their limbs, some in serious condition.

    The state-run National News Agency said hospitals in southern Lebanon, the eastern Bekaa Valley and Beirut’s southern suburbs — all areas where Hezbollah has a strong presence — had called on people to donate blood of all types.

    The news agency reported that in Beirut’s southern suburbs and other areas “the handheld pagers system was detonated using advanced technology, and dozens of injuries were reported.”

    A Hezbollah official said that at least 150 people, including members of the group, were wounded in different parts of Lebanon when the pagers they were carrying exploded. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the explosions were the result of “a security operation that targeted the devices.”

    “The enemy (Israel) stands behind this security incident,” the official said, without elaborating. He added that the new pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying had lithium batteries that apparently exploded.

    Lithium batteries, when overheated, can smoke, melt and even catch on fire. Rechargeable lithium batteries are used in consumer products ranging from cellphones and laptops to electric cars. Lithium battery fires can burn up to 590 C (1,100 F).

    The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between Lebanon and Israel. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been clashing near-daily for more than 11 months against the backdrop of war between Israel and Hezbollah ally Hamas in Gaza.

    The clashes have killed hundreds in Lebanon and dozens in Israel and displaced tens of thousands on both sides of the border.
