Translated & summarized from Jüdische Allgemeine by baba
An 18-year-old terrorist who attacked the Israeli embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, with knives was previously deported from Germany for allegedly planning an attack on Munich's Jewish Museum. The suspect, Dario N., had scouted the museum's location and sought weapons before his deportation in July. He had been under investigation for radicalization and expressing support for the Islamic State. This incident is similar to a June attack on the same embassy where a guard was injured.

Police in Belgrade, Serbia, shot and killed an 18-year-old terrorist last Wednesday as he attempted to attack the Israeli embassy. The assailant, identified as Dario N., shouted "Allahu Akbar" before lunging at police officers guarding the embassy with two knives. According to a report by "Bild," Dario N. had been deported from Germany in July after allegedly planning an attack on the Jewish Museum in Munich. Munich Chief Public Prosecutor Sebastian Murer told "Bild" that the suspect had scouted St. Jakob's Square in Munich and attempted to acquire weapons for the planned museum attack. The minor, who had been living with his father in Munich since 2022, came to investigators' attention due to increasing radicalization, reportedly expressing sympathy for the Islamic State and obtaining instructions for attacks. Dario N. was arrested in June, but because he had no prior convictions and was not expected to receive a prison sentence, authorities deported him from pre-trial detention to his mother in Serbia. This incident follows a similar attack in June 2024, when a Serbian convert to Islam shot a Serbian security guard outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade with a crossbow. The guard, hit in the neck by the bolt, returned fire and fatally wounded the attacker. The guard sustained injuries requiring surgery.
