1975 Fox Street siege occurred at the Israeli consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa in April 1975. Two assistant security officials working at the consulate, David and Charles Protter, Jewish South Africans took control of the consulate personnel as they arrived for work on Monday morning, 28 April. Twenty-one hostages were eventually taken. David Protter had convinced his brother Charles that he was conducting a test of security at the consulate. The head of security was killed soon after he arrived. By late morning, police in Johannesburg became aware of suspicious activity at the consulate but not until gunfire from the consulate started striking pedestrians in the street after midday, confirmed suspicions that the consulate had been seized. Negotiations continued throughout the day and into the early morning of 29 April before all hostages were released and David Protter surrendered and was taken into custody. A total of 4 people, 2 hostages and 2 bystanders, died during the siege.[1]
