MOSCOW, April 5. /TASS/. Israel has offered Russia assistance in the fight against terrorism following the St. Petersburg metro attack, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Gary Koren told TASS on Wednesday.

According to the ambassador, Israel has always been ready to help in such situations. He added that Israel had vast counterterrorism experience but every country made its own decisions.
