Hamas Plot Targeting Jews in Europe Foiled, Arrests Made in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark

Arrests by authorities in Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark have reportedly foiled a plot by Hamas to attack Jewish targets in Europe.

According to German police, three suspected members of Hamas were arrested in Berlin and an additional suspect was arrested in the Netherlands.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Germany’s federal prosecutor shared, “One of the men, acting under orders from Hamas leaders in Lebanon, had in the spring begun searching for a cache of weapons the organization had clandestinely assembled in the past.”

The weapons were to be brought to Berlin in advance of a possible attack on Jewish institutions.

Prosecutors suggested the suspects were “strongly suspected of membership of a foreign terrorist organization,” referring to Hamas.
