“In the light of the latest events, Israel's embassies around the world will be closed and consular services will not be offered”, it is stated on the website of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm.
In addition, Israeli citizens are urged to avoid displaying Jewish and Israeli symbols in public contexts and not to share their travel plans on social media. They should also avoid large gatherings that can be linked to Israeli or Jewish communities and be vigilant when they are on public places, according to the message.
In Stockholm, the police have previously this year drone-monitored several areas due to increased threats against Jewish and Israeli interests. However, they do not want to release information on how the latest development affects the police's work.
We are following the situation and there is a surveillance on the objects that are protected. Otherwise, it is here something we do not comment on, but it is clear that we have noted the events of the night, says Robert Sennerdal, press spokesperson in region Stockholm.
