A drive-by gunfire attack took place at 03:15 am in the morning of Friday, against the Israeli Embassy in the area of Psychiko in Athens, Greece.

According to preliminary information, four gunmen riding two motorcycles approached the side of the building on Sokou Street and opened fire with Kalashnikovs. Then, they managed to escape through the Galatsi ring road.
No injuries were caused by the attack and only minor damages were recorded.

Greek authorities closed off a major road outside the embassy early Friday and called forensics experts to search the area.

According to police sources, more than 15 bullet casings were found near the scene of the gunfire attack, which fortunately occurred when the embassy was closed.

It should also be noted that the attack is reminiscent of a similar incident that occured one year ago, when “Popular Fighters” terrorist group opened fire outside the German ambassador’s residence in Athens.
