A wave of attacks on Jewish landmarks worldwide appear to have been triggered by both terrorist groups and lone wolf sympathizers.

Europe saw a handful of troubling incidents over the weekend. A Jewish school in Amsterdam was damaged by an explosion. The city's mayor called it a deliberate antisemitic attack against the community.

The day prior, Dutch police arrested four men for starting a fire outside of a synagogue in Rotterdam.

Another synagogue in Belgium was also hit by an explosion a couple of days before that.

According to the BBC, French police have arrested two men, 20 and 22 years old, who are of Iraqi and Italian descent. Authorities say they were attempting to carry out what they're calling a lethal and antisemitic attack in their car.
