A letter found close to the scene of a blast outside the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi was a death threat to the Ambassador that warned he was being constantly being watched and could be attacked at any time, timesofisrael.com reports on January 31. The handwritten note, in English, but riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, was addressed to Israel’s Ambassador, Ron Malka, and referred to him as a “terrorist of the terrorist nation.” It claimed to be from the India Hizbollah, a group that is not previously known. “This is just a trailer presented to you, that how we can observe you,” even when “eating your pie,” the letter began.
Warning that Malka is in their crosshairs, the letter said “you cannot stop anyway no matter how hard you would pick, we can end your life anytime anywhere.” It said that while the attackers want to destroy Malka “we don’t want [to] flow the blood of innocent people around you.” It then listed “martyrs” Qassem Soleimani — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander who was killed in a January 2020 United States drone strike, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a top Iraqi militia ‘commander’ who was killed along with Soleimani, and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the architect of Iran’s nuclear program, killed in a November 2020 attack Tehran has blamed on Israel.
