Migrant ‘broke into Israeli Embassy with knives’ to ‘exact revenge’ for Gaza

  • Abdullah Albadri, a small boat migrant, is accused of attempting to break into the Israeli embassy in London armed with two knives.
  • The Old Bailey heard that Albadri, 34, tried to scale an 8ft fence at the embassy on 28 April 2025, allegedly to 'exact revenge' for the killing of children in Gaza.
  • Prosecutors stated that Albadri was carrying a 'martyrdom note' and told police he wanted to 'send a message, to stop the killing of children, to stop the war.'
  • Albadri denies preparing terrorist acts, claiming the knives were for 'personal use' as he was homeless, and that his actions were not terrorism.
  • The court was told Albadri arrived in the UK via small boat from France in August 2021 and again in April 2025, with the trial continuing.
