Police investigate overnight fire attack on Netherlands synagogue

Summary: Dutch police are investigating a fire that was intentionally set at a synagogue in Rotterdam early Friday morning. The fire was put out quickly and no one was hurt, but police are asking witnesses to come forward. This is part of a scary trend of attacks happening right now. Earlier in the week, a synagogue in Belgium was damaged by an explosion, and in Michigan, a man crashed his truck into a synagogue's preschool. People are worried because these attacks against Jewish communities seem to be spreading globally after recent fighting between the US, Israel, and Iran.
