June 20, 2025 Explosion outside Norway's ambassador residence in Tel Aviv
A grenade was thrown into the yard of the residence of the Norwegian ambassador to Israel on Thursday. According to officials, there were no injuries.
"There was an explosion outside the Norwegian residence in Tel Aviv Thursday evening," Tuva Bogsnes, Head of Communications at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said.
Bogsnes added that no embassy staff were injured in the incident and that the Israeli police were present at the scene.
Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar posted on X that he had spoken with Norway's Ambassador to Israel Per Egil Selvaag.
Saar added that Selvaag's home had been targeted by a "shrapnel grenade" and strongly condemned the "serious and dangerous crime."
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack or what their motive was.
Last year, Norway, along with Spain and Ireland, symbolically recognized a Palestinian State, and criticized Israel for its conduct during the Gaza war.
