A knife-wielding attacker was shot dead by a police officer outside Israel’s embassy in Belgrade after wounding the officer, prompting Serbian authorities to raise the country’s security alert to its highest level.
Serbia’s outgoing Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said the suspect was a minor whose identity had not yet been confirmed, but who was believed to be from the city of Šabac.
According to Dacic, the suspect approached a member of the Gendarmerie while shouting “Allahu Akbar” and attacked him with two knives. The officer suffered a minor head injury.
Following the incident, authorities have increased police presence at key locations across Serbia after raising the national security threat level to red, the highest category.
The incident was the second attack targeting security personnel outside Israel’s embassy in Belgrade in two years. In June 2024, an attacker wounded a Serbian police officer in the neck with a crossbow.
The latest attack came one day after Israelis voted in a national election, with projected results showing the opposition bloc running closely against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s camp.
It also followed Serbia’s election on Sunday, in which a student-led movement defeated long-time leader Aleksandar Vucic. The outgoing administration remains in place in a caretaker capacity until a new government is formed.
