STOCKHOLM, Sweden — A Swedish court on Thursday jailed three men for planting explosives outside an Israeli military technology firm in Gothenburg in June, the ruling said.

Two insulated flasks packed with plastic explosives were found outside the offices of Elbit Systems, known for its unmanned aerial systems, in Sweden’s second-largest city on June 4.

The national bomb squad removed the objects and no damage or injuries were reported.

Two men aged 24 and 17 were convicted of placing the bombs outside the building. The first defendant was jailed for seven years while the latter, who was 16 at the time, was ordered to spend one year and two months in juvenile care.

The pair “together and intentionally handled two explosive devices containing 3.3 kilos (7.3 pounds) of explosives, without permission. It occurred at the place and time the prosecutor claimed,” the Gothenburg district court wrote in its ruling.

The third suspect, aged 29, was found guilty of storing and handling the explosives in his home, but not of transporting them to his two accomplices as the prosecutor had claimed.

He was sentenced to four years and seven months behind bars.

All three defendants, who had received orders from unidentified individuals to carry out the attack, had denied the charges.

The Swedish intelligence agency Sapo in late May accused Iran of recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit “acts of violence” against Israeli and other interests in Sweden, a claim Iran has denied.

Elbit Systems was also targeted in a shooting incident by a 15-year-old on October 10, which resulted in no injuries and the teenager’s arrest, according to Swedish media.

Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023 when the Palestinian terror group attacked Israel killing 1,200 people, there have been several incidents targeting Israeli interests in Sweden.

The Israeli embassy in Stockholm was targeted in a shooting on October 1. Sapo later said Iran may have been involved.

In February, police found a grenade on the grounds of the embassy compound, which the ambassador called an attempted attack.

And in May, gunshots were fired outside the embassy, prompting the country to bolster security measures around Israeli interests and Jewish community institutions.

Prosecutor Rasmus Oman told public broadcaster SR on Thursday that several investigations involving shootings near the Israeli embassy have been closed due to lack of evidence.

He said prosecutors had evidence against two 14-year-olds, but they could not be prosecuted as they were under the age of 15.

There have been protests at other office of Elbit in Europe since the war started.
