Munich Police Probe Suspected Antisemitic Attack on Israeli Restaurant

Police are probing a suspected antisemitic crime reflecting a wider rise in such offenses in Germany.

Overview

  • Eclipse Grillbar, which was struck early Friday, reported no injuries as assailants smashed three windows and hurled pyrotechnic devices inside.
  • State Security investigators, who handle politically motivated crimes, have taken over the case and are reviewing footage and witness accounts with no suspects identified.
  • Police said the blasts caused damage worth several thousand euros at the Maxvorstadt district site, and they are still determining the exact type and origin of the devices.
  • Staff said there had been no prior direct threats and the restaurant planned to reopen the same day, with supporters and Jewish groups calling for public solidarity.
  • Jewish leaders called the incident part of a broader post–October 2023 surge in antisemitic acts in Germany, which authorities say reached a peak in 2025.
