"At 303, the number of explosions in the Netherlands is already almost greater than in the whole of 2022, when the counter stood at 325. The police fear that the trend will continue and that we will be dealing with a doubling by the end of this year."
Resolves yes if least 650 such incidents are reported to have happened in 2023.
EDIT: See Daphne's comment! I will resolve based on the "explosive incident" statistic, which appears to have been misreported as "explosion incidents" in the article I cited.

Article about the 'explosive attacks' statistic going from 228 in 2022 to 622 in 2023 jan-nov, possibly passing triple by the end of the year.
@dph121 resolving YES on the theory that the number of explosion incidents is probably higher than the number of explosions, lol.
This article claims the number of attacks with explosions already passed double that of last year by October. Your number of 325 derives from this police publication where all incidents with explosives are counted. This includes finding unexploded illegal explosives (such as heavy fireworks) during searches of private property. This was misreported in your source as 'the number of explosions'.
The article in Een Vandaag counts 227 explosive attacks (aanslagen) in 2022, which is 12 more than the total of every incident labelled "(poging) aanslag" ((attempted) attacks) in the police publication. Presumably some attempted attacks failed, but the police publication doesn't distinguish between them. I don't know where the remaining 12 came from.
In the spirit of the question title, I'm assuming you will resolve this YES if the same statistic doubled between 2022 and 2023. Which seems very likely given the Een Vandaag article.
@dph121 Yes, I will resolve based on the statistic quoted in the description. Thanks for flagging this!
