Shooting at Israeli Company by 13-Year-Old May Have Been Ordered by Iran
11th October 2024
A 13-year-old boy has been apprehended by Swedish police after a shooting by Israeli company Elbit Systems’ building in Gothenburg. While nobody was injured in the shooting, the suspected shooter is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated weapons offenses. Police said the boy was not from the area but appeared to have traveled there for the purpose of committing a crime.
Elbit Systems, a defense technology contractor, has been the target of protests and attempted sabotage before. In December, the company was targeted by protesters spray painting slogans on the building and in June, a live explosive device was found outside the company’s office. The company has also been the focus of protests in Gothenburg city center, and its UK headquarters was targeted by violent anti-Israel protesters in August.
While it’s unknown whether the actual perpetrators of the latest attacks on Israeli targets in Sweden and Denmark have ideological motives, Swedish security services Säpo have reason to believe the people at the top do.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
