Germany arrests three men suspected of targeting Jewish institutions for Hamas

Berlin: Prosecutors arrested three men who suspected that the German police had prepared a serious violence against the Jewish targets of Germany in a statement a week before the second anniversary of the militant Islamist attack on Israel.

Prosecutors suspect that three men are foreign operators for Hamas and the supply of firearms and ammunition for assassinations targeting Israel or Jewish institutions in Germany.

“During today’s arrests, Ak-47 attack rifle and several pistols and a significant amount of ammunition were found during the Federal prosecutors. He said.

In accordance with German Privacy Laws, only German citizen Abed Al G., Wael FM born in Lebanon and Ahmad Ahmad, a German citizen, were arrested in Berlin on Wednesday. A source of security said it was in the 30s or 40s of the three.

Reuters could not contact the lawyers immediately for the defendant.

Hamas, which operates Gaza and supported by Iran, is identified by some other countries, including the European Union and the USA, as a terrorist organization.

In February, four Hamas members suspected of planning to attack Jewish institutions in Europe began to be tried in Berlin, which was defined as the first court case against the militants of the Palestinian group in Germany.

Anti -Terror Inspectors observed the defendant’s meeting before the intervention of operational forces and discovering functional weapons, including a Glock gun.

Forensic technicians examine Arsenal and research was conducted in Leipzig, the eastern city where the suspects lived. Authorities also added that the spokesman made a search in Oberhausen in the Western province of North Rhine.

Germany is one of the most powerful allies of Israel because of the Holocaust’s legacy and is strict in security synagogues and other Jewish institutions. Last month, France did not participate in the UK and some other countries to challenge Israel’s wishes and to recognize Palestinian state.
