Five individuals were given prison sentences of up to six months by an Amsterdam District Court on Tuesday for the violence that broke out during a November UEFA Europa League match between Israel’s Maccabi Tel-Aviv and the Dutch team Ajax.
Five were hospitalized and twenty others suffered minor injuries as a result of the disturbances, which sparked an international outrage.
More than 60 people were taken into custody.

Two men received prison sentences of one month, two and a half months, and six months, respectively, from the court on Tuesday.
100 hours of community service were required of a fifth defendant.

During the match, there were several violent altercations between Israeli football supporters and pro-Palestinian protesters.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that some of the violence was anti-Semitic and offered to remove Maccabi fans. As a shelter for persecuted religions, particularly Jews, Amsterdam’s reputation as a beacon of tolerance was tarnished by the violence, which made headlines throughout the world.

“It appears that the violence arose from strong pro-Palestine sentiments and dissatisfaction with the situation in Gaza, as well as related anger against the Israelis present,” the prosecutors’ office stated in a statement after the hearings two weeks ago.
The five suspects, who are all Dutch residents aged 19 to 32, were charged with public violence, theft, and assault.
The Nov. 8 game was allowed to go ahead after the Netherlands’ counterterrorism watchdog decided there was no “concrete threat” to Israeli fans, and the match was not considered a high risk.

Nevertheless, a pro-Palestinian protest outside the Johan Cruyff Arena was prohibited by Amsterdam officials.
Authorities reported a number of incidents the day before the game, including Israeli fans beating a cab and pulling a Palestinian flag from an Amsterdam building, according to an inquiry.
Three minors are among six other suspects whose trials are scheduled for a later time. Juvenile proceedings are conducted behind closed doors in accordance with Dutch regulations. Police have issued pictures of a number of suspects they wish to identify as part of their ongoing investigation into the violence.
