In the capital of Azerbaijan, the special services thwarted a terrorist attack by apprehending an armed Iranian who planned to attack the Israeli embassy in Baku, reported by Cursorinfo.

The man, armed with a pistol, was detained near the embassy building. The suspect, who had been surveilling the embassy for an extended period, intended to harm embassy staff.

Azerbaijani special services promptly prevented a potential threat, ensuring security in the region.

This event occurred in the context of military actions in the Gaza Strip, and according to foreign sources, some countries, especially Muslim ones, began recalling their diplomats of Israeli origin due to concerns about anti-Israeli threats.

It is noted that relations between Israel and Azerbaijan have remained warm and are based on mutual benefits. Baku supplies oil to Israel, and in return, Israel provides Azerbaijan with military equipment, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between the two countries.
