  "summary": "Serbian police killed a knife-wielding attacker outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade early Wednesday morning. According to Daily Maverick, an unidentified individual dressed in black opened a guard house door and rushed a policeman, identified by the initials D.S., with two knives. The attacker reportedly threw one knife, hitting the officer in the left cheek, before the officer fired several shots, killing the assailant. The Belgrade-based Higher Public Prosecution Office stated the officer's actions were considered justified self-defence.\n\nThe outgoing interior minister, Ivica Dacic, described the incident as a terrorist attack. Daily Maverick reports that Dacic stated a minor, suspected to be from Šabac, rushed the Gendarmerie officer while shouting \"Allahu Akbar.\" Following the incident, the country's terrorism threat level was raised to red, the highest level, with an increased police presence expected at key locations.",
