Greek Guerrilla Group Claims Responsibility for Attack on Israeli Embassy

ATHENS — A guerrilla organization known for targeting political and foreign diplomatic sites in Greece has claimed responsibility for a gun attack on the Israeli Embassy in December, a Greek police official said on Wednesday.

The assault on the Israeli Embassy came amid mounting political and financial turmoil in Greece, ahead of elections in January that brought a leftist-led coalition to power. But it was unclear whether the attacks were motivated by domestic developments or by Israel’s policies in the West Bank and Gaza.
