Dutch authorities searched passengers arriving on an Israeli flight for goods originating from West Bank settlements, according to a report cited by Anadolu Agency.
Israel's Channel 12 connected the searches to a Dutch ban on the import, purchase and sale of goods from Israeli settlements that took effect last week.
The searches represent one of the first visible enforcement actions tied to the newly implemented Dutch restrictions.
Details on how many passengers were searched or whether any goods were confiscated were not included in the initial report.
The development adds to rising friction between Israel and the Netherlands over policies affecting the West Bank.
