Police responded after video claimed to have targeted nearby Israeli embassy with ‘dangerous substances’

Kensington Gardens in London has reopened after the discovery of several suspicious items including two jars containing a powdered substance which were deemed to be “non-hazardous”, police said.

Police in protective clothing responded to an incident near the Israeli embassy on Friday after counter-terrorism officers investigated a video shared online in which a group claimed to have targeted the embassy with drones carrying “dangerous substances”.
