Flame engulfs Israeli flag
In a disturbing incident last night, the Israeli state flag was set on fire in Berlin's Tiergarten Park. The flag was attached to the facade of a building on Tiergartenstraße, though the exact location and the name of the building remain unknown.
The incident was noticed by a security guard around 5:30 AM. During his previous patrol in the night, the flag was still intact. However, by the time he made his rounds again, the flag had been set ablaze. The exact nature of the damage caused by the fire is not specified, but the Israeli flag, which was later personally rehung by the chairman of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Israeli ambassador, was visibly damaged.
The political foundation associated with the location where the flag was set on fire is not identified. The State Protection Police of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office is currently investigating the incident, but no potential suspects or leads have been released.
Interestingly, no information is available about any response or reaction from the Israeli government regarding the incident. The extent of the damage to the building facade due to the fire is also not mentioned.
It is worth noting that the incident has not been claimed by any known political or extremist group. The cause of the flag fire remains unknown.
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a political foundation based in Germany, has not commented on the incident beyond stating that they are cooperating with the police investigation. The foundation's chairman and the Israeli ambassador personally rehung the flag after the incident.
Tiergarten, a large urban park in the centre of Berlin, has been a site of numerous protests and political demonstrations over the years. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential for such events to escalate and the importance of maintaining peace and respect for all.
As the investigation continues, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The police have asked anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help bring those responsible to justice.
