Israeli embassies in India, Georgia targeted

An explosion tore through an Israeli diplomat's car in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, India, Monday, February 13. One woman was injured, Ynet reported.

The blast came just one day after the fourth anniversary marking the assassination of Hezbollah arch-terrorist Imad Mugniyah.

Israeli Embassy Spokesman David Goldfarb confirmed that an explosion took out a diplomat's car and that one woman was injured, but did not identify the victim. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor also refused to discuss the identity of woman or the extent of the injuries, saying only that the Foreign Ministry was "looking into the incident and cooperation with local security forces is excellent.

Initial details suggest that the injured woman is an Israeli diplomat's wife. The explosion apparently took place after she dropped of their children off at a local preschool. She suffered minor injuries and was rushed to a nearby medical center for treatment.

Explosives were also found near the Israeli Embassy building in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. The device was neutralized safely.

Israel placed its foreign missions on high alert ahead of the February 12 anniversary of the assassination. The Foreign Ministry said that its missions worldwide were been briefed on the events.

Following the attack in India and the attempted attack in Georgia, Israeli diplomats have been advised against travelling in cars in the immediate future.

The incident followed reports by Azeri media, which suggested that the Israeli ambassador in Baku was the target of a terror plot.
