Acting on warnings of possible terrorist activity, German police have tightened security around the Israeli Embassy in Bonn.

A police spokeswoman said that streets surrounding the Israeli Embassy were sealed off Tuesday and that security has been tightened around the ambassador’s residence. She added that people living near the embassy have to show identity cards before they will be allowed into the area.

The new measures were taken to protect the Israeli diplomats after German intelligence sources warned of possible terrorist acts, the spokeswoman added.

She said the measures will continue during the next few days due to “the specially tense situation” in Israel.

A spokesman for the Israeli Embassy, Ilan Mor, said that many policemen were posted at the roadblocks nearby, but that Israeli diplomats were carrying on with their normal activities.

“We did not receive any threats lately,” he said.
