An attempted attack on the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm was thwarted on Wednesday.

Swedish broadcaster STV reported that a dangerous object was discovered outside the Israeli Embassy and destroyed by the bomb squad. No one was injured.

In a statement, Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said she was “shaken by the information about the attack on the Israeli embassy. The hatred against Israel is frightening. Violent extremism must be stopped. Incredibly grateful for the Swedish police’s quick intervention.”
