Attackers attempted to detonate two bombs outside Israeli embassies in India and Georgia adding more fuel to the fire of tensions building up between Israel and Iran.
Israel is blaming Iran and its ally, the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah for attacks on Israeli diplomats.
In New Delhi, a blast destroyed the car of an Israeli embassy official injuring four people including a diplomat’s wife.
Apparently a bomber on a motorcycle attached an explosive device to the vehicle.
The attack in the Georgian capital Tbilisi was reportedly foiled.
