Rotterdam police are investigating after a medical center displayed a controversial video on its facade that appears to celebrate attacks against Israel. The incident, which occurred Tuesday, March 24, 2026, has drawn widespread condemnation and sparked a police inquiry.
The video, reportedly a music clip with the lyrics “Boom Boom Tel Aviv,” was projected onto the exterior wall of the unnamed medical facility, according to reports from AD.nl and De Telegraaf. The lyrics, translated as “Your time to bleed,” are particularly inflammatory given the ongoing conflict in the region.
Authorities were alerted to the display and have launched a formal investigation. An Instagram post shows footage of the video and indicates the police are involved. The medical center itself has not yet publicly commented on the situation, according to a post on Instagram.
The display of the video has been widely criticized as anti-Israel and insensitive, particularly in light of recent events. The incident underscores the sensitivity surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the potential for local tensions to reflect broader geopolitical issues. Rijnmond reported that police are investigating the offensive images.
