Authorities in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands arrest seven individuals, including four suspected Hamas members, thwarting a potential terror attack on Jewish institutions in Europe.

  • Seven individuals, including four suspected Hamas members, were arrested in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands on suspicion of planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe.
  • The suspects are believed to be longstanding members of Hamas and have allegedly participated in Hamas operations abroad.

  • The arrests come amid heightened global concern about potential terror attacks, particularly targeting Jewish people, following the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
