German authorities arrested three suspected Hamas operatives accused of procuring firearms and ammunition to carry out attacks on Israeli and Jewish institutions in Germany. The suspects were identified as Abed Al G., Wael F. M. and Ahmad I.; last names were withheld under German privacy rules. Investigators intercepted the men during a monitored weapons exchange in Berlin and found functional arms, including an AK-47, a Glock pistol, several pistols and a considerable amount of ammunition. Searches were also conducted in Leipzig and Oberhausen. Authorities will determine whether the suspects acted under Hamas direction or as lone sympathizers. A suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
