Ten protesters remain in custody after Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans were attacked by what Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema described on Friday as 'antisemitic hit-and-run squads.'

Footage shows Femke speaking to reporters at Amsterdam City Hall and a high police presence outside the city's main airports as the Israeli government sent two planes to bring the fans home.

"What happened last night was not a protest. It had nothing to do with protest or demonstration - it was crime," Femke told journalists.

Femke said it was a 'very dark moment' for Amsterdam, for which she is 'deeply ashamed.'

On Wednesday, the night before the game against Ajax, a video circulating on social media showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans singing insulting chants against Gaza and tearing Palestinian flags from windows.

"Since Wednesday, hooligans have been around Amsterdam. Rioting, taking down Palestinian flags, harassing people, harassing taxi drivers. They have been calling for horrible things to happen to the Arabs, to people in Gaza, and the Mayor allowed all of this to happen," one protester said.

"What has happened in the past few days, I find it concerning [...] And what we've seen in the past few days, you know, Palestinian flags getting ripped off walls, windows getting thrown in, people from Arab descent getting spat at," another demonstrator added.

Police arrested 62 people after clashes erupted between Israeli football fans and pro-Palestine demonstrators, which left five people hospitalised, according to Dutch Police.

Around 3,000 Israeli football fans attended their club's Europa League away game in Amsterdam.
