The 2012 attacks on Israeli diplomats involved a series of coordinated bombings targeting Israeli diplomatic staff in New Delhi, India; Tbilisi, Georgia; and Bangkok, Thailand, on February 13 and 14, 2012.

In Tbilisi, a similar device was discovered and safely defused, while in Bangkok, a failed bombing attempt left several people injured.
