Overview
- The 36-year-old Lebanese suspect, identified as Mohammad S., was detained after arriving from Beirut at Berlin Brandenburg Airport and was on a federal wanted list.
- Federal prosecutors allege he belongs to a Hamas team of foreign operatives that sought firearms and obtained about 300 rounds of ammunition in August 2025.
- Investigators link him to Abed Al G, one of three suspects arrested in October in Berlin during a suspected weapons handover tied to planned attacks.
- He is expected to appear before a federal judge who will decide whether he remains in pretrial detention.
- Authorities describe the arrest as part of a broader European probe into Hamas-linked logistics, with prior arrests in Germany and parallel U.S. sanctions on alleged supporters.
