‘Day of rage’: Israeli embassy staffer ‘stabbed’ in Beijing street

An employee from the Israeli Embassy in Beijing was injured in a stabbing incident. The motive behind the attack is unclear, but it occurred after Israel criticized China’s statement on Hamas’ incursion into southern Israel. The injured employee is in stable condition, and no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. The incident has heightened tensions between China and Israel. Meanwhile, the US is showing support for Israel through diplomatic visits, statements, and military aid. New York and Washington are on high alert due to the global “day of Jihad” called for by Hamas.
