An explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam early Saturday morning. The incident happened in an upscale residential area on the south side of the city.
Mayor Femke Halsema said the blast caused only limited damage. Police and firefighters reached the spot quickly after the incident.
No injuries were reported. Authorities described it as a deliberate attack against the Jewish community.
Security at synagogues and other Jewish institutions in Amsterdam had already been increased after an arson attack at a synagogue in Rotterdam on Friday night.
Earlier this week, an explosion also caused a fire at a synagogue in Liege, Belgium.
The mayor called the act a cowardly attack and said antisemitism against Jewish people in Amsterdam is increasing. She said this situation is unacceptable.
Officials are continuing their investigation into the incident.
