In December, German prosecutors announced that four suspects, including one Egyptian, two Lebanese and a Dutch citizen, are believed to be “Hamas veterans.” The group members were allegedly planning to take weapons to Berlin and keep them ready for potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.
Ongoing intelligence efforts have uncovered information showing how Hamas is expanding its violent activities abroad to harm innocent people worldwide. This includes promoting terrorist attacks in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
On January 14th, 2023 authorities in Denmark and Germany made significant arrests in Europe leading to legal proceedings against the suspects. The Shin Bet and Mossad revealed that Hamas was actively promoting terrorist attacks outside of Israel.
The announcement from the ministry highlights the need for continued vigilance and cooperation among security agencies to prevent further threats and ensure the safety of communities globally. This comes as Hamas is inspired by the terrorist activities of the Iranian regime and determined to target Israeli, Jewish and Western interests at any cost.
