Germany Accuses Seven Men of Supplying Hamas with Weapons
Germany's Federal Public Prosecutor's Office has charged seven men in Berlin with membership in Hamas and preparing a serious, state-endangering violent crime. The prosecution alleges that the accused were involved in procuring weapons for potential attacks within Germany or Austria, acting on instructions from senior Hamas officials. The group reportedly acquired an assault rifle, 13 handguns, and over 700 rounds of ammunition, intended for use in an attack planned for around October 2025. Investigators believe potential targets included Israeli representatives, Jewish individuals, and supporters of Israel. German authorities view this case as part of Hamas's activities outside the Middle East. The charges follow an investigation that uncovered an alleged weapons procurement network. The defendants now face trial, where prosecutors must prove their involvement in the planned crime and their ties to Hamas.
