AMSTERDAM, March 13 (Reuters) - Dutch police on Friday said four men were arrested after an arson attack on ‌a synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam, in ‌the latest incident of suspected antisemitic violence since the start of ​the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

No one was injured as a result of the fire, which was caused by an explosion around 3:40 a.m. (0240 GMT), Rotterdam police said.
