Munich Attack on Israeli Consulate Deemed Anti-Israel Terrorism

Investigators conclude the 18-year-old Austrian attacker acted alone, driven by antisemitic beliefs and social isolation.

The September 2024 shooting at the Israeli Consulate in Munich has been classified as an anti-Israel terrorist attack by German authorities.
The 18-year-old Austrian attacker also targeted the nearby NS Documentation Center but failed to cause significant harm due to poor planning.
Investigators found no evidence of accomplices or external support, confirming the attacker acted alone.
The attacker displayed antisemitic behavior online, including comments on Gaza conflict videos, and had a history of using Islamist symbols in video games.
Authorities describe the shooter as a socially isolated individual with an immature personality, influenced by extremist content but lacking clear Islamist motives.
