Dutch police said today that they are investigating 45 people in connection with the violence on the sidelines of the Maccabi Tel Aviv match in Amsterdam last Sunday, and nine of them have already been identified and arrested.
The number of suspects is expected to increase "in part based on the analysis of a large number of images," police added.
"Due to the seriousness of the crime, as well as its social impact, we immediately formed a special investigation team," said Dutch police chief Jani Knoll.
Police are "investigating any violence committed before and after the match," Knol said, after clashes rocked Amsterdam on November 7, leading to protests and the near collapse of the government coalition.
Police said tensions were high ahead of last week's soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and local team Ajax.
Israeli fans chanted anti-Arab slogans, burned a Palestinian flag and destroyed a taxi.
After the game, Israeli fans were attacked by men on scooters. Police said the attackers were encouraged by calls on social media to attack Jews.
Five Maccabi supporters were briefly hospitalized during the violence, which drew outrage from Western leaders.
Dutch and Israeli authorities condemned the attacks as anti-Semitic and called for the perpetrators to be swiftly punished.
Muslim rights groups condemned anti-Semitism, but stressed that the violence in Amsterdam was not one-sided.
