The attacker who wounded a member of the gendarmerie with a crossbow was killed

The assailant, whose identity is not yet known, shot a member of the Gendarmerie who was on security duty at the Embassy of Israel with a crossbow, hitting him in the neck.

The attack took place around 11 a.m. in front of the embassy in Belgrade.

According to the Minister of Police Ivica Dacic, a member of the Gendarmerie MJ (1990) used a weapon in self-defense and defeated the attacker, who died as a result of his injuries.

The policeman was transported to the Emergency Center in a conscious state, where an operation to remove the arrow from the neck will be performed.

All circumstances of the attack at the Israeli embassy and possible motives are being investigated. Blic reports that the attacker had a shaved head and a beard, and that he allegedly had a kitchen knife with him.

It remains to be seen whether the attack was politically motivated and how it is related to the conflicts in the Middle East.
