On Saturday, an armed individual was shot and killed in front of the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade by Serbian Police. The attacker, identified as a 25-year-old Muslim convert named Milos Zujovic, had seriously injured a police officer before being neutralized. The police spokesman commended the officer for eliminating the attacker and preventing further casualties.
Investigations are ongoing to determine if Zujovic may have been linked to the ultra-conservative Wahhabi movement. Several people have been detained as a precaution, and security has been heightened in Belgrade. The injured police officer underwent surgery after being struck by an arrow in the neck, which he reportedly removed himself.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident as a terrorist attack but stated that no embassy staff were harmed. The autopsy of the attacker will provide more details about his identity. The surgeon who treated the officer confirmed that he is stable and has been transferred to intensive care for further treatment.
The incident highlights the ongoing importance of security measures in response to potential threats. As such, it is crucial that authorities continue to take steps to protect citizens and diplomats from harm.
