Israelis attacked in Denmark mall

Two Israelis were lightly wounded when they were shot by a group of men in a mall in Copenhagen, Denmark on Wednesday afternoon.

The Israelis were selling Dead Sea cosmetics in a stand in the mall - a route many young Israelis pursue, usually following military service, in order to save money for their future.

A group of men with Middle Eastern-looking features approached them and an altercation developed. A man in the group then pulled out a weapon and fired at the Israelis.

The Danish police was asking the public to assist in capturing the shooter, who was probably a Palestinian, police said. His getaway car was already found but he had made it away on foot.

The Foreign Ministry said Israeli security services abroad were already put on high alert several days ago.

It was assumed that the incident was related to the IDF offensive against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
