Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred long before the building opened for business.
Officials in Athens condemned the shooting, stressing it would not affect the country’s close ties with Israel.
“The Greek government is fully determined to ensure the protection of all diplomatic missions in Greece,” a Foreign Ministry statement said. “Of course, particularly strong security and protection measures are in force at the Israeli embassy.”
Police said the attackers were riding on at least one motorbike, and escaped after the attack, leaving the building pock-marked with bullet holes.
