Hamas Directed Plot to Attack European Jews, Israel Claims
Israel's Shin Bet security agency announced Tuesday that it has arrested seven individuals suspected of planning a deadly terrorist attack against Jews in Europe, acting on the direct orders of Hamas leadership.
The suspects, who were apprehended in various locations across Israel, allegedly received funding and guidance from Hamas operatives based in Gaza and Turkey. The Shin Bet stated that the group was in the advanced stages of planning the attack, which was intended to target Jewish communities in Europe.
According to the Shin Bet, the investigation revealed that the plot was initiated by senior Hamas officials who sought to expand their terrorist activities beyond Israel and the Palestinian territories. The agency did not release the names of the suspects or further details about the specific targets of the planned attack, citing ongoing security concerns.
The arrests are part of a broader effort by Israeli security forces to thwart terrorist plots originating from Gaza and other regions. The Shin Bet emphasized its commitment to preventing attacks against Israelis and Jewish communities worldwide.
