Officials in the Romanian capital are on high alert after a Syrian man tried to torch the building housing the Israeli embassy by throwing a Molotov cocktail, which caused a small fire but no casualties.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated: "Earlier today, a man, apparently of Syrian origin, arrived near the Israeli Embassy building in Romania. During the inspection, he took out a Molotov cocktail, lit it, and threw it towards the entrance door to the lobby of the building. The local security forces immediately took control of him and arrested him. There were no injuries in the incident and no damage was caused. The suspect was handed over to the local authorities for investigation."
Yesterday, I was in Bucharest talking about Israel -- today, a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the Israeli Embassy there.
Let's be clear - WE ARE NOT SCARED OF THEM. Those who try to terrorize us should be scared.
