Serbian police thwarted a terrorist attack outside the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade early Wednesday morning. A terrorist, identified as an ISIS operative, attempted to carry out a stabbing attack near midnight but was neutralized by local security forces. According to reports from Serbia, the attacker was a minor known to security services for his ties to ISIS. He approached the security post outside the Israeli embassy armed with knives and charged at a Serbian Gendarmerie officer, shouting "Allahu Akbar." The officer reacted quickly, drew his weapon, and fatally shot the assailant before he could harm embassy staff or continue his attack. Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić described the incident as a clear act of terrorism in a local media interview. In response, the Serbian Interior Ministry raised the national terror threat level to "red," the highest possible. Minister Dačić explained that this elevation means increased police presence and surveillance at key locations, including infrastructure and crowded civilian areas, starting Thursday morning. This is not the first security incident at the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade in recent months. In June 2024, another attack attempt occurred where a terrorist armed with a bow and arrow assaulted a security officer. The 34-year-old officer was wounded in the neck but managed to neutralize the attacker, who later died from his injuries. These repeated events have heightened alertness among Israeli security and diplomatic personnel in the country, adding to a recent global rise in terror incidents and incitement against Israel and Jewish people.
