German authorities have apprehended three individuals suspected of planning terrorist attacks on Israeli and Jewish institutions within Germany. The suspects, identified as Abed Al G, Wael F M, and Ahmad I, include two German citizens and one Lebanese-born individual. According to Germany’s federal prosecutor’s office, the trio had allegedly been procuring firearms and ammunition since the summer, intending to carry out the attacks. The arrests took place in Berlin on Tuesday, just one day before Yom Kippur, the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar. During the operation, law enforcement seized an AK-47 assault rifle, several pistols, and a substantial quantity of ammunition. The weapons were reportedly intended for use by Hamas, the Palestinian armed group that controls Gaza and is designated as a terrorist organization by the EU. German media revealed that the suspects were arrested during a weapons handover in the capital. Concurrent police searches were conducted in Leipzig and Oberhausen. The suspects face charges of preparing a serious act of violence threatening the German state and membership in a foreign terrorist organization. They are scheduled to appear before a federal judge on Thursday. This development follows the February trial of four Hamas members in Berlin, who were accused of plotting similar attacks on Jewish sites across Europe.
