Munich, April 10, 2026 – Police in Munich were alerted to an incident at an Israeli restaurant in the Maxvorstadt district in the early hours of Thursday morning. The establishment’s windows were found to be damaged after reports of loud noises in the area.
Police Respond to Reports of Loud Noises
The emergency control center received a call around 00:45 AM regarding three loud banging noises at a restaurant in Maxvorstadt, according to police spokesman Tobias Schenk. A patrol unit dispatched to the scene confirmed that the restaurant’s window pane had been smashed in three places.
“The particularity of this operation is the political sensitivity behind it. The operators of this restaurant are of Jewish faith,” Schenk stated. Officers on site investigated whether pyrotechnics could have been the cause of the loud noises. Further details were not immediately provided.
State Security Involved in Investigation
State security has also been involved in the investigation, though authorities are exploring all possible angles, Schenk confirmed. The incident has drawn attention due to its potential political implications, given the religious affiliation of the restaurant owners.
