An Israeli restaurant in Munich was targeted in a suspected antisemitic attack overnight, after explosive devices were thrown into the establishment, causing significant damage, as a wave of antisemitic attacks continues.

The restaurant, Eclipse Grill Bar, describes itself as “the first authentic Israeli restaurant in Munich,” making it an important symbol of Israeli culture and Jewish presence in the city.

The attack occurred around 12:45 a.m., when multiple blasts were reported.

Unknown assailants hurled explosive or “pyrotechnic devices” directly into the restaurant, shattering windows and damaging parts of the inside of the restaurant.

The restaurant was closed at the time, preventing what could have been a far more serious tragedy. No injuries were reported.

Police have launched an active investigation and have not yet announced any arrests.

Damage to the restaurant is estimated to be thousands of euros, with several windows blown out and serious destruction inside the building.

Despite the attack, the owners have made clear they intend to reopen quickly, to send a message of resilience and that Jews will not be intimidated.

Support has already begun pouring in from locals and members of the community, as a show of solidarity.

Authorities say two young men accused of throwing an improvised explosive device during a protest near New York City’s Gracie Mansion had been consuming ISIS propaganda and allegedly constructed a bomb using a highly dangerous explosive filled with nuts, bolts, and screws, known among terror groups as the “Mother of Satan.”

The suspects, identified as 19 year old Ibraham Kayumi and 18 year old Emir Balat, were taken into custody after allegedly throwing the device during a demonstration outside the mayor’s residence on Saturday.

Law enforcement sources say both individuals had become radicalized in recent years and had traveled overseas to locations associated with extremist networks.

Investigators say Balat spent several months in Istanbul last year, while Kayumi reportedly traveled to Istanbul and Saudi Arabia in 2024. Kayumi had also previously traveled to Melbourne, Australia, in 2019.

According to investigators, the suspects admitted after their arrest that they regularly watched ISIS videos online and said they targeted demonstrators they believed had insulted their religion.

Officials say the device was built using sports bottles packed with nuts, bolts, screws – and triacetone triperoxide, a volatile chemical compound commonly referred to by counterterrorism officials as the “Mother of Satan.”

The substance has been used in several major terrorist attacks in Europe and is known for its extreme instability.

Authorities say the explosive is so sensitive that it can detonate with minimal disturbance.

New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch pushed back on earlier claims that the device was merely a smoke bomb, warning that it had the potential to cause serious injuries or fatalities if it had detonated.

The NYPD and FBI are now working together on the investigation. Search warrants were executed Sunday at locations tied to the suspects in Pennsylvania as authorities continue to examine the case.

Oslo police commander Michael Dellemyr told the local TV2 outlet that authorities “have an idea of the cause,” adding that “it appears to us that this is an act carried out by someone.”

A bomb squad was dispatched to the scene, according to the TV2 report.

U.S. embassies across the Middle East have increased security measures amid “Operation Epic Fury” against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which Washington launched in conjunction with Jerusalem on Feb. 28.

However, Dellemyr told TV2 that it was “too early” to connect the incident to the conflict.

Anti-American protests in Pakistan on March 2 ended with the deaths of at least 22 people at U.S. consulates in Karachi and Lahore as thousands protested the fighting between the U.S.-Israel alliance and Tehran.

Following the news that Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, was killed in the opening strike of the war, hundreds of Iraqis attempted to storm Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, where the U.S. embassy is located.

Meanwhile, Hundreds of demonstrators marched to the U.S. and Israeli embassies in Athens, Greece, on March 1, to protest the Iran campaign.

The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem has directed all government employees and their family members to “continue to shelter in place in and near their residences until further notice.”

Three IDF soldiers from the Givati Brigade were killed and two others wounded after their armored vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb during an operation in northern Gaza.

By Lauren Marcus, World Israel News

The IDF announced that three troops were killed in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon, after their armored vehicle was struck by a roadside explosive device.

The fallen soldiers were identified as Staff Sgt. Lior Steinberg, 20, from Petah Tikva, Staff Sgt. Ofek Barhana, 20, from Yavne, and Staff Sgt. Omer Van Gelder, 22, from Ma’ale Adumim.

All serving in the Givati Brigade’s Rotem Battalion, Steinberg and Barhana were combat medics, and Van Gelder was a squad commander.

Two other soldiers from the Armored Battalion’s 9th Division were moderately wounded in the explosion and are currently hospitalized, the IDF said.

The deadly incident occurred in Jabaliya, a city in the northern Gaza Strip.

The slain soldiers were part of a convoy protecting an army firetruck that was en route to extinguish a blaze in an armored personnel carrier.

A preliminary investigation found that the vehicle carrying Steinberg, Barhana, Van Gelder, and two other soldiers was directly hit by an explosive device, the IDF said in a statement.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, there were numerous bombs planted along the road where the attack took place, complicating rescue efforts.

Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenberg eulogized Steinberg on social media, describing him as “one of the best sons of Petah Tikva – a brave fighter, a beloved person who went out to defend us all and did not return.”

Greenberg added that “we will always remember Lior with pride and gratitude.”

“On my behalf and on behalf of the residents of the city, we extend a comforting embrace to Ofek’s family,” Yavne Mayor Roei Gabay said in a statement addressing Barhana’s parents.

“Our hearts are with you in this difficult time. No words can truly console you,” Gabay wrote.

Ma’ale Adumim Mayor Guy Yifrach said that Van Gelder “gave his life for the people and the land.”

The city of Ma’ale Adumim “embraces the family, and will support them in every step and every need,” Yifrach added.
