An explosion has occurred at the Israel Centre in Nijkerk to the east of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Dutch media reported on Saturday.
No one was injured in the blast, which took place late on Friday, the ANP news agency reported, citing police. Damage was reported to be limited.
Police appealed for information and said they were investigating. No arrests were made initially.
On its website, the organization describes the building as a meeting point for Christians with feelings of affection for Israel: "Our mission is to bring Biblical understanding in the Church concerning God's purposes for Israel and to promote comfort of Israel through prayer and action."
According to a report in the Dutch daily Trouw, the centre has in the recent past repeatedly been a target of protests by pro-Palestinian groups during which damage to property has been recorded.
