Belgian Watchdog Says Oct. 7 Attacker Lives Openly in Brussels as It Files Police Complaint

The group submitted its dossier after open‑source research pointing to Mohand al‑Khatib’s presence in the city.

Overview

  • The Jewish Information and Documentation Center alleges that Mohand (Mohanad) al‑Khatib, seen in October 7 attack videos, is residing freely in Brussels.
  • JID reports he posts pro‑Hamas and anti‑Israel content and travels between EU countries without apparent security monitoring.
  • The watchdog says al‑Khatib presents himself as living in Paris, yet it traced him to Brussels, where Al Jazeera filmed him at an early‑October march.
  • JID filed a formal complaint with Belgian police seeking an immediate investigation, identification of the suspect, and verification of recent Gazan entries.
  • The organization further claims he receives public funds and urges the Belgian government to disclose entry procedures, with no official response reported so far.
