UK police search near Israel’s London Embassy after threat of drone attack with ‘dangerous substances’

[IsraelTimes] Officers in protective gear search surrounding area after terror group posts video claiming attack; police say no evidence of strike, no danger to public; MFA: All staff are safe

British police said on Friday they were investigating a security incident near the Israeli Embassy in London after a terror group reported online that it had targeted the premises with drones carrying “dangerous substances.”

London’s Metropolitan Police officers were seen wearing protective clothing while searching a park near Israel’s Embassy for suspicious objects, with the Foreign Ministry stressing that all embassy workers were safe and that the embassy was not attacked.

“There is an increased police presence in Kensington Gardens and officers are assessing a number of discarded items,” said Scotland Yard, calling the protective suits a “precaution.”

“We do not believe there to be any increased public safety risk at this stage,” the Metropolitan Police continued.

The police added that their counterterrorism force is “aware” of a video posted Thursday night, “in which a group claims to have targeted the nearby Embassy of Israel with drones carrying dangerous substances.”

The newly founded pro-Iranian terror group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, or Movement of the Companions of the Right Hand of Islam, had posted a video that included footage of drones along with two figures dressed in protective clothing and a message that the Israeli embassy was being targeted.
