A shooting incident occurred outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, according to local media reports on Tuesday.
In two cases, teenagers were arrested while in a taxi on their way to the embassy, armed with weapons. One of them was sentenced to 11 months in prison in May after being caught with a gun and wearing gloves, claiming he received instructions via chat.
Security for Jewish interests
Stockholm police have increased security measures to improve the protection of Israeli and Jewish interests throughout Sweden since the war between Israel and Hamas began last fall. They cooperate closely with security services, other authorities, and Jewish community representatives.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry in Jerusalem updated that “an unusual incident is being investigated at the Israeli Embassy in Sweden.” It emphasized that all embassy staff are safe and unharmed.
