Several Israeli missions in China have tightened security requirements for staff movement after an employee at the embassy in Beijing was stabbed in the street, sources said.
This comes after embassy staff were asked to stay home for the weekend, hours after the attack in front of a supermarket in central Beijing on Friday afternoon.
Chinese police have yet to reveal further details of a foreign suspect in custody over the assault, beyond saying he was a 53-year-old involved in the “small goods business”.
