Dutch police and Moroccan national team supporters clashed in the Netherlands after Morocco's morning World Cup match, according to a report by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Video and reports show confrontations, with police using shields and tear gas. No casualties reported.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday morning (09:15 Jerusalem), Morocco defeated the Netherlands on penalties in a World Cup round-of-32 match. Following the match, Moroccans in the Netherlands — a large immigrant community — clashed with Dutch police, according to a report by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, who cited video footage on social media.
The footage shows police deploying shields and tear gas against crowds of Morocco fans. The clashes follow a similar incident earlier today when Moroccan immigrants reportedly taunted Dutch police near the stadium, with one video showing a ball being kicked at officers. That earlier confrontation was covered by The Zioneer at 11:58 Jerusalem.
The Hague, a city with a significant Moroccan population, saw celebrations by Morocco fans after the match at approximately 12:23 Jerusalem. It remains unclear how many were detained and whether injuries occurred on either side. The Zioneer will provide updates as details emerge.
