A foreign citizen was detained in Romania’s capital Bucharest on Monday after throwing a Molotov cocktail outside the Israeli embassy, causing no damage or casualties, police said.
The Romanian Intelligence Service said its anti-terrorism officers caught the 34-year-old suspect, who allegedly also threatened to set himself on fire, and handed him over to police.
Israel‘s Foreign Ministry confirmed the arrest of the suspect “apparently of Syrian origin.” He had pulled out, lit, and thrown the petrol bomb while undergoing a security inspection, it said.
Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel‘s war against the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Ambassador to Romania Reuven Azar thanked Romanian security forces on X/Twitter for apprehending “the violent extremist” and pledged that the Jewish state will “never surrender to terrorists.”
