Abdullah Albadri, 34, from Kuwait, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years after attempting to attack the Israeli embassy in London's Kensington Palace Gardens on April 28, 2025. Armed police stopped him when he tried to scale an 8-foot metal fence armed with two knives. Albadri had previously entered the UK twice by small boat and was refused asylum both times; he was sleeping rough before his arrest. He told police he wanted to commit a crime inside the embassy as "revenge" for Israeli actions in Gaza, where children were killed. The court heard that Albadri was motivated by Palestinian deaths in Gaza and had researched the embassy's location beforehand.
