THREE Israelis are missing following clashes between Israeli football fans and pro-Palestinian demonstrators on the fringes of football club Maccabi Tel Aviv’s match in Amsterdam, according to Israeli authorities.

Ten people were injured in the violence, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Friday morning.

The degree of their injuries was initially unclear.

The ministry urged its citizens to use public transport to travel to the airport, after Israel had announced it was sending two planes to evacuate the fans.

Local security forces had been deployed, the ministry said.

The ministry had initially advised fans not to leave their hotels.

It also advised its citizens not to wear Jewish or Israeli symbols in public. (dpa/NAN)
