Beijing: An Israeli embassy staff in China has been stabbed by an unknown assailant Friday October 13, 2023.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed that one of its staffer had been attacked in a knife attack on the street in the Chinese capital Beijing.
The injured diplomat was rushed to a local hospital where he is said to be in a stable condition, according to South China Morning Post.
