 Israel’s flag carrier El Al operated and funded rescue flights for Israelis escaping this weekend’s violent attack in Amsterdam at a cost of several million shekels to the company, it said.


While Israeli officials asked El Al to operate the rescue flights, the airline fully funded and operated them, according to El Al.


The need for rescue flights followed violent attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans after a soccer match between Maccabi and Ajax on Thursday evening. 

Footage of the attack showed Israelis being beaten and chased in the streets.


Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Friday that the violent attacks against Israelis were a result of a planned attack against Jews organized in a Telegram group.

Some 63 people were detained by authorities and four remain in custody.

Initially, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed that two rescue flights be sent out, while the IDF said it would send a rescue mission.

She doesn't hesitate for a second. She grabs that overpriced pizza and immediately gives it to the two homeless people. Giving and treating others less fortunate than you well is extremely attractive.
