Security measures at Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem’s government district on Givat Ram were increased on Thursday after a suspicious envelope was received.

Security forces took the envelope for investigation, reports said, adding that “the incident has ended.”

In June, a package containing a suspicious powder was sent to the office of Israeli Health Minister Uriel Bosso. He was examined by medics and found not to be showing any symptoms after opening the package.

The envelope was subsequently put in a sealed container and sent for testing at the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona.

In January 2023, and again in February of this year, suspicious envelopes were discovered at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, leading to security guards and forensic teams being rushed to the scene.
