Authorities believe an antisemitic motive prompted vandalism at an Israeli restaurant in Munich where the windows were broken this morning, police say. No one was injured.
The owners of the restaurant are Jewish, police tell German news agency dpa.
Visuals of the aftermath show that the restaurant is the Eclipse Grillbar, though police do not name it. The restaurant’s website says it is Munich’s first authentic Israeli restaurant; it does not immediately return a request for comment.
Investigators believe pyrotechnic devices — potentially fireworks — were thrown into the restaurant, breaking the windows in three places. No suspects were discovered in the area after police were called around 12:45 a.m. and it was not clear who the perpetrator or perpetrators are. The damage is estimated at several thousand euros (dollars).
Antisemitism has risen in Germany since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza.
