The German government confirmed that an 18-year-old terrorist targeted the Israeli consulate in Munich. Armed with a Mauser rifle from World War II, he was intercepted by police officers. This incident coincided with the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack where 11 Israeli athletes were killed. The Israeli consulate was closed for a memorial ceremony, which was canceled due to the attempted attack. Israel’s ambassador to Germany commended the swift response of the security services and emphasized the need for unity against terrorism. President Isaac Herzog also condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the German government. This event serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat of terrorism and the importance of international cooperation in combating it.
