Five Jewish men wearing yarmulkes suffered an antisemitic incident this week at a bowling alley in Antwerp near the Jewish Quarter, Ynet reported.

When they arrived at their bowling, they discovered the large lit screen over their lane stated “5 Joden” [Jews] under “Reservation.”

After a complaint was filed, the bowling company fired the two employees responsible for the incident, who were also found to have expressed pro-terror views on social media.

Tzvi Grosskopf, a community activist in Antwerp, said that the Belgian Jewish organization JID, which works to combat antisemitism, contacted the company about the incident.

The company said in a statement: �We are shocked and disappointed by the incident that occurred at our Antwerp location, during which two employees acted in a racist and antisemitic manner. We offer our sincere apologies to anyone who felt hurt or excluded as a result. This behavior is completely inconsistent with our company values. We place great importance on ensuring that everyone feels welcome and safe at our venues�always and everywhere.�

�After learning about the incident, we took immediate action. The employees involved were dismissed on the spot. The rest of the Antwerp staff is now undergoing a thorough review regarding this incident. Racist or discriminatory behavior is absolutely unacceptable in our company. We take this matter very seriously and are acting decisively.�
