According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), an Israeli company was targeted in a shooting incident in Sweden, which resulted in no casualties.
The Swedish police confirmed the incident occurred near what they described as an “Israeli target” in Gothenburg, a city on Sweden’s west coast.
The event took place on Thursday, and police are investigating the shooting.
Reuters reported that the police stated there were no injuries from the incident.
Furthermore, a suspect was arrested at the scene, and preliminary investigations into attempted murder and possession of dangerous weapons have been initiated.
Abroad Israeli companies and citizens abroad often face security challenges due to geopolitical tensions.
Such incidents highlight ongoing concerns regarding the safety of Israeli-affiliated entities outside of Israel.
The international community and local law enforcement typically remain on high alert to prevent and respond to such security threats.
Earlier this month, Swedish authorities reported a shooting incident at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, which occurred without causing injuries.
According to Stockholm police spokesperson Rebecca Landberg, evidence suggests the embassy was targeted, but details remain undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation.
This incident coincides with another investigation in Denmark, where two explosions occurred near the Israeli embassy, also without injuries.
Swedish police have yet to make any arrests but confirmed that the area is under intense surveillance.
This follows a series of threats against Israeli interests in Sweden, including a discovered grenade at the embassy in February and shots fired in mid-May.
