(RepublicanReport.org) – Hamas may have been plotting to attack Jews in multiple European locations, but the arrests of individuals from three different countries thwarted even more potential terrorist acts. The apprehensions took place amid continued protests across the world, which have grown heated in many places and have attracted heavy support on both sides.
Officials from Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands confirmed the arrests on Thursday, December 14, according to Daily Wire, which reported the Hamas members were targeting Jewish institutions. The FBI as well as the US Department of Homeland Security recently warned that the possibility of a terrorist attack occurring on US soil has also increased as a result of the conflicts that have arisen between Israel and militant residents of Gaza.
A German press release stated that law enforcement took three suspected Hamas members into custody on December 14. It named the suspects as Abdelhamid Al A., who originated from Lebanon; Mohamed B., who came from Egypt; and Nazih R., a Dutch national. It explains that Hamas is a militant Islamist organization with a primary purpose of destroying Israel. It is a theocracy that functions under Sharia law in Gaza. The group views Sharia law as the only legitimate government, judging all secular forms of leadership as irreverent and wicked.
Attacks from the group’s military branch have been ongoing for decades, but the assault on October 7 in Israel led to death and destruction on a massive scale, triggering a ripple effect that has sent waves across the world. The initial violence killed roughly 1,400 Israeli citizens and was reportedly sadistic and brutal.
German officials allege they caught their suspects during an attempt to retrieve a cache of weapons the organization had previously hidden somewhere underground in the country. Two of the defendants appeared in court on December 15 to receive formal charges.
