This is the moment that a small-boat migrant allegedly set out to carry out a knife terror attack on London's Israeli embassy after his asylum claim was rejected.
Kuwait-born Abdullah Albadri was captured by police after leaping on an eight-foot fence surrounding the embassy armed with two knives and a martyrdom note.
Seen here on CCTV strolling down the road with a traditional shemagh headscarf and sunglasses covering his face, the 34-year-old suddenly leapt on the railings attempting to climb over the top into the embassy grounds in Kensington on April 28 last year.
But he was quickly yanked down by two armed police who happened to be yards away.
The dramatic footage was shown for the first time today as Albadri faces trial accused of plotting a terror attack in revenge for the killing of children in Gaza.
In the clip shown to jurors at the Old Bailey, Albadri was quickly bundled to the ground by the officers as he allegedly shouted: 'I need to stop the war, they're killing babies.'

Kuwait-born Abdullah Albadri arrived in the UK on a small boat in 2021 and applied for leave to remain but failed to attend a Home Office interview
CCTV showed Albadri walking towards the embassy with his face covered and wearing sunglasses in April 2025
He could then be seen climbing high railings as two police officers approached him
Albadri was pinned to the ground and detained by police. He is accused of trying to enter the Israeli embassy with knives
