(JNS) An Amsterdam court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian to six months in prison for public violence and attempted aggravated assault during the November 2024 pogrom against Israelis in the Dutch capital.

The man, identified only as Mahmoud A. by local media in keeping with privacy laws, faced the gravest charges among those tried for the attacks.

In security camera footage shown in court, Mahmoud A. could be seen pushing a visiting supporter of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football club against a fence, causing him to fall, and then kicking his victim repeatedly in the head.
