A police officer was lightly wounded and the assailant killed in a stabbing attack outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, early Wednesday morning. The attacker, identified by Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić as a minor suspected of ISIS ties, approached the officer guarding the embassy with two knives, shouting "Allahu Akbar." The officer, acting in self-defense, shot and killed the assailant. The incident occurred around 12:15 AM, just hours after Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team lost a EuroLeague game in the city. Serbia has raised its terror alert to the highest level, deploying additional police and special forces and increasing security checks nationwide. Dačić stated that the attacker was known to security services as an ISIS supporter, citing his Instagram account which allegedly displayed the ISIS flag. The wounded officer is expected to be released from the hospital later today. Investigations into the incident and the attacker's final identity are ongoing.
