Overview

• Atallah Younes, a 23-year-old influencer from Westjordanland, fired a burning rocket into a Berlin apartment on New Year's Eve, causing property damage.
• The Berlin Landgericht sentenced Younes to six months' probation for property damage, citing expert testimony that no intent to endanger lives could be proven.
• Prosecutors have filed an appeal, challenging the leniency of the sentence and seeking charges of attempted serious arson and dangerous bodily harm.
• If the appeal proceeds, the case may be reviewed by the Bundesgerichtshof, potentially leading to a harsher penalty.
• The incident gained widespread attention after Younes shared a video of the rocket launch on Instagram, where it was viewed over six million times before being deleted.
