THE HAGUE, SOUTH HOLLAND, NETHERLANDS - 2024/02/09: The flag-lined Johan de Wittlaan in The Hague, home to the new Israeli Embassy, now features a perimeter of black fabric covering the ground floora security measure implemented following the recent discovery of an explosive device in Stockholm, Sweden. The municipality of The Hague, Netherlands, has implemented additional security measures around the perimeter of the Israeli Embassy. Large black screens now obscure the building's ground floor, with police stationed at both the main entrance and sides. Last week in Stockholm, police intercepted an explosive device at the Israeli embassy. Additionally, the Ministry of Defence building in the Netherlands was previously vandalized with red paint. The Netherlands is a supplier of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. As the Israeli offensive in Occupied Gaza persists, the death toll has climbed to 27,840, with 67,317 wounded. (Photo by Charles M.
