Firebomb thrown at Israeli embassy in Romania, no injuries or damage

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

A man approached Israel’s embassy in Romania earlier today, and while going through a security inspection pulled out a Molotov cocktail and threw it at the door leading into the lobby, the Foreign Ministry says in a statement.

Local security forces apprehended the man — apparently of Syrian origin — immediately, says the ministry.

He is being questioned by local law enforcement.

There were no injuries or property damage in the incident.
