Grenade Incident Shakes Norwegian Ambassador's Residence in Israel

A grenade was thrown at the residence of the Norwegian ambassador to Israel on Thursday evening in Tel Aviv, reported Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. While the attack fortunately caused no injuries, it has sparked significant concern.

"I spoke a short time ago with the Norwegian ambassador to Israel, Per Egil Selvaag, in whose yard a grenade was thrown this evening," Saar announced on X. He firmly condemned the dreadful and risky act, emphasizing its gravity. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has yet to respond to queries for further comments.

Meanwhile, in Oslo, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry confirmed the explosion at the ambassador's residence. An email statement assured that no embassy staff were harmed. Israeli police stated that only 'light property damage was sustained' and have initiated an investigation to determine the cause and responsible parties.
