Several individuals, including suspected Hamas terrorists, were arrested in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands for planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe.
The suspects were linked to Hamas and were allegedly involved in planning and preparing for potential terrorist attacks.
This comes amid heightened concerns about potential Islamic terrorist attacks in the U.S. due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as stated by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. (Trending: Kid Rock Rages Against ‘Woke’ Target)
German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann noted that German law enforcement “in cooperation with Dutch authorities, today arrested four members of Hamas who were planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe.”
“Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B., Ibrahim El-R. and Nazih R. have been longstanding members of HAMAS and have participated in HAMAS operations abroad,” prosecutors stated.
“They are closely linked to the military branch’s leadership.”
“On behalf of HAMAS, Abdelhamid Al A. started searching for an underground weapons cache in Europe no later than spring 2023, which the organisation had created in the past in a conspiratorial manner,” prosecutors said.
“He received his orders from HAMAS leaders in Lebanon. The weapons were due to be taken to Berlin and kept in a state of readiness in view of potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.”
“In October 2023, Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B. and Nazih R. travelled repeatedly from Berlin to look for the weapons, with Ibrahim El-R. providing assistance.”
“FBI and DHS assess that ongoing tensions related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas likely heighten the threat of lone actor violence targeting large public gatherings throughout the winter, including holiday-related, faith-based, New Year’s Eve, and First Amendment protected events related to the conflict,” the agencies wrote.
“Although this announcement is not in response to any specific plotting activity, these targets likely remain attractive to lone actors inspired by a range of ideologies due to their accessibility and symbolic nature.”
