An Israeli diplomat was stabbed in Beijing, China, in what Chinese officials are calling a terrorist attack. It is unclear if a suspect has been arrested.
The Beijing Chabad is suspending religious services for Shabbat and closing for the weekend under the advice of the Israeli embassy and the Beijing police.
China has promised that Chabad will receive 24-hour police protection in the future, and a half-dozen plain-clothed officers are supplementing uniformed police.
