Two convicted of terrorism in Denmark for grenade attack near Israeli Embassy

The attack occurred on Oct. 2, 2024, when the two threw hand grenades towards the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen. The grenades detonated on the terrace of a residential building, which was inhabited by a family with children, according to the AP. No one was injured in the blasts. The nearby Jewish school, Carolineskolen, was closed when the attack took place.

The two men admitted to throwing the grenades, but denied being ideologically motivated, saying they did it for money, the AP reported.

The Danish court was reportedly split on whether the two should be convicted of terrorism. Two judges and four jurors concluded that they were guilty, while one judge and two jurors disagreed, according to the AP, which cited TT.

The war ended in October 2025 with a peace deal brokered under the Trump administration.
