A knife-wielding attacker was killed by Serbian police after attacking a guard outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade. The incident occurred late at night, with the assailant shouting "Allahu Akbar" before lunging at the officer. The attacker was identified as an unidentified minor.
Serbian authorities have raised the country’s terrorism threat level to its highest after the attack. Police described the incident as a potential terrorist act, citing the attacker’s actions and the timing of the assault. The Interior Minister, Ivica Dacic, confirmed that the police are treating the case as a terrorist attack.
This follows a pattern of rising tensions in the region, with increased security measures around diplomatic missions. The Israeli embassy in Belgrade has been under heightened scrutiny in recent months due to sporadic incidents involving local extremists. The attack has sparked renewed calls for improved security protocols and diplomatic dialogue between Serbia and Israel.
