An Israeli embassy staffer was stabbed in Beijing, on Friday, amid the country’s war with Palestine where it’s forces have killed over 1,500 people.
The news comes after Israel today indicated it was possibly preparing for an invasion of Gaza.
The Israeli embassy said: “An Israeli employee at the Israeli embassy in Beijing was attacked today (not in the embassy area). The employee is being treated in hospital and his condition is stable.
“The background of the attack is being investigated,” said the embassy.
The Israeli foreign ministry confirmed that the man had been attacked in the street and was now in a stable condition in hospital, South China Morning Post reported.
Video footage circulating on social appears to show a man being stabbed several times in the shoulder and chest by a man carrying a knife.
The victim then fell to the ground and the attacker left the scene, SCMP reported. The video also shows what appears to be blood on the ground.
