German Intelligence Informant Allegedly Aided Hamas Cell Planning Attacks in Europe

A Hamas terror cell, operating from outside Europe, was planning a series of assassinations in 2025 to mark the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack. Seven alleged members of this plot are currently awaiting trial in Berlin. This revelation signifies a strategic shift for Hamas, which has historically used Europe primarily as a refuge and fundraising hub. Evidence now suggests the terror organization is recruiting criminal elements to carry out attacks on European soil.

Israeli sources estimate that Hamas leadership ordered the establishment of assassination infrastructures in Europe even before 2023. The mastermind behind this network is identified as 40-year-old Mohammed A., son of senior Hamas official Bassam Naim and former bodyguard to the terror group's leadership. He is currently detained in the UK. A video filmed in Vienna in the summer of 2025 shows Mohammed, his face masked, vowing revenge for Israel's "genocide" in Gaza and stating that armed resistance would send a "bloody message" to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The terror network operated covertly across borders, acquiring an arsenal of 13 handguns, an automatic assault rifle, and 718 rounds of ammunition within weeks. To evade intelligence agencies, suspects used code words like "tires," "sweets," or "dates" in phone conversations when referring to weapons and ammunition.

A German citizen named Abd al-G., 37, who served as head of security at a refugee shelter in Berlin, played a key role in the German cell, receiving handguns smuggled from Denmark. The assault rifle was reportedly acquired through Burhan al-K., a 61-year-old Danish national of Lebanese origin linked to the Bandidos biker gang, whom Israel's Mossad identifies as a central figure in the plot.

Disturbingly, one of the cell's arms suppliers is reported to have been an informant for Germany's domestic intelligence agency, who intentionally misled authorities. The Federal Prosecutor's Office has charged the network as being ready to carry out an attack, though the specific targets of the planned massacre remain unclear.
