Extra security at Israeli embassy in The Hague amid threats

The Hague mayor Jan van Zanen announced on Thursday that additional security measures have been implemented at the Israeli embassy in The Hague following a threat "that must be taken extremely seriously", the Dutch news agency ANP reported.

ANP also reported that barriers have been established around the embassy, and it remains uncertain for how long these security precautions will be maintained.

Last month, an item suspected to be a bomb was discovered near the Israeli embassy in Sweden. Authorities are treating the incident as a potential act of terrorism and have launched an investigation.
