Munich Probes Claim Video by Pro-Iran Group After Blast at Israeli Restaurant

The probe could tie the blast to a wider intimidation campaign targeting Jewish sites in Europe.

Overview

  • Munich prosecutors, who said Friday the clip is now part of the case file, are checking whether the 30-second video from Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya is genuine.
  • The clip carries threats in German, Hebrew and Arabic, shows a map and photo of the Eclipse Grillbar, and places a crosshair over 'The Target' using media footage from the scene.
  • Investigators say CCTV and witnesses indicate two men fixed small explosive devices to the windows around 12:45 a.m. on April 10, then a white car left the area and no one was hurt.
  • Security analysts note the video spread on pro-Iran channels and resembles claims after recent non-lethal attacks in Skopje and London, with possible links to Iranian-run agents.
  • Lawmakers have urged stronger protection for Israeli and Jewish venues, while the restaurant reopened with police guidance and staff describe a lingering sense of fear.
