Two people injured in Indian explosion, while device found under car of driver for Israeli embassy in Georgia is defused
Israeli diplomatic missions in India and Georgia have been targeted in bomb attacks linked to the anniversary of the assassination of a Hezbollah militant in Lebanon four years ago.
Two people, including the wife of an Israeli diplomat, were reportedly injured when a device exploded in or near a car with diplomatic plates in Delhi.
In the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, an explosive device found under a car belonging to a man employed as a driver at the Israeli embassy was safely defused.
The Israeli foreign ministry declined to give details of the incident, only saying that the Israeli authorities were cooperating with local security forces.
Israeli missions around the world were alerted to potential attacks.
The foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, was reported as saying that Israel would identify those responsible for the blasts and would not tolerate attacks on targets inside or outside Israel.
The incidents came the day after the anniversary of the death of Imad Mughniyah, a senior Hezbollah figure who was killed when his car exploded in 2008. Hezbollah accused Israel of being responsible for the blast.
Israeli officials have also warned of the threat to embassies and other targets from Iran or its allies.
Last month, the Israel Defence Force chief of staff, Benny Gantz, warned: "We are witnessing efforts by Hezbollah and other hostile elements to perpetrate a brutal terror attack far from Israel."
Yoram Cohen, the head of Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet, said earlier this month that Iranian agents were attempting to attack Israeli targets around the world in retaliation for covert operations, including the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.
