Suspected Hamas Members Arrested in Europe Over Alleged Terror Plot

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.
German prosecutors allege that the suspects were tasked with finding a previously set-up underground Hamas weapons cache in Europe, with the weapons intended to be used in potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.
Danish police have increased their public presence, particularly in Copenhagen and around Jewish localities, following the arrests.
The arrests come amid heightened global concern about potential terror attacks, particularly targeting Jewish people, following the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
