Sweden Investigates Object Found at Israeli Embassy as Terrorism

The Swedish security agency is probing a dangerous object, suspected to be a hand grenade, found at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm as a potential act of terror.

• Sweden's domestic security agency, SAPO, has taken over the investigation of a dangerous object found at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, initially handled by Stockholm police.
• The object, described by some media as a hand grenade, was discovered near the embassy's fence and subsequently destroyed by a bomb squad.
• No arrests have been made following the discovery, and the embassy was not evacuated during the incident.
• Israeli Ambassador Ziv Nevo Kulman stated that the embassy and its employees were subject to an attempted attack but affirmed that they will not be intimidated by terror.
• The incident is being investigated as a 'terrorist crime' amid heightened global vigilance for antisemitic acts of violence, especially in the context of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
