Germany Arrests Lebanese Suspect at Berlin Airport in Hamas-Linked Plot

A judge will now decide on pretrial detention in a case tied to a Europe-wide Hamas infrastructure.

Overview

  • Der Spiegel identified the 36-year-old as Mohammed S., who was detained after arriving from Beirut and was on the federal police wanted list.
  • Federal prosecutors say he belonged to a team of foreign operatives tasked with sourcing firearms and ammunition for attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions across Europe.
  • Authorities allege he helped procure about 300 rounds of ammunition in August 2025 for potential operations.
  • Investigators link him to Abed Al G, one of three suspects arrested in Berlin in October during a weapons handover, with related searches reported in Leipzig and Oberhausen.
  • Officials describe the case as part of a broader network exposed publicly by Israel’s Mossad in November, with inquiries continuing across Germany and Europe.
