Burning object thrown at Israeli embassy in The Hague

A burning object was thrown at the Israeli embassy in The Hague on Thursday morning, according to Dutch police.

The police said that no one was wounded, and they had arrested a suspect. The incident is being investigated.

There has been a sharp increase in hate crimes across Europe since the Gaza war broke out on 7 October.

Israel's embassy in The Hague wrote on X: "It is unacceptable that such an attack can take place in the Netherlands. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

"We trust that the authorities will take all possible measures to prevent such attacks. This proves the dangerous consequences of the worrying trend of increasing hatred and incitement. This hatred cannot be tolerated."
