An alleged Danish Hamas member was arrested on Wednesday in connection with arms procurement for a Hamas<\/a> plot to attack Jewish and Israeli sites<\/a> in Europe, the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office announced on Thursday, making him the eighth person arrested in connection with the Hamas network.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yousif C was arrested near Copenhagen by Danish police after German prosecutors issued a warrant, after the alleged Hamas member supposedly provided five pistols and ammunition to Abdel Al G. in July.<\/p>\n

Abdel Al G, who was arrested on October 1, had allegedly given the firearms to Mohammed A, a British citizen who had been arrested in London in November. Mohammed A. had reportedly met with Abdel Al G. during the summer and was given weapons to transport and store in Austria.<\/p>\n

The German newspaper Die Welt has claimed the British man to be the son of Hamas<\/a> official Bassem Naim.<\/p>\n

The Austrian Directorate of State Protection and Intelligence Service (DSN) announced in November that it had uncovered a weapons cache of five handguns and 10 magazines in a rented Vienna storage unit, stored in a suitcase as part of an alleged Hamas plot to target Israeli or Jewish institutions.<\/p>\n

In March, Lebanese national Kamel M. was arrested by border officials at the Larnaca airport after German law enforcement conducted a search of his apartment. The suspected Hamas member had allegedly sent 300 ammunition cartridges to Abdel Al G through Mohammad S., who had been arrested at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport upon arriving from Beirut in January. The munitions were then ostensibly given to Mohammad A. by Abdel Al G.<\/p>\n

In November, Lebanese-born Borhan El-K. was arrested when entering Germany<\/a> from Czechia, during his return trip to Denmark, where he resided.<\/p>\n

Borhan El-K. allegedly provided alleged Hamas operative Wael FM with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols, and 600 rounds of ammunition in August.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese-born Wael FM was arrested on October 1 alongside two other suspected Hamas operatives, German nationals Abed Al G and Ahmad I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An alleged Danish Hamas member was arrested on Wednesday in connection with arms procurement for a Hamas plot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[27295,151,3645,5,9571,27294,58,1261],"class_list":["post-26821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-germany","tag-counterterrorism","tag-europe","tag-european-jews","tag-germany","tag-hamas","tag-hamas-terrorist-attacks","tag-terrorism","tag-terrorist"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
