Five people have been killed in a firefight between border guards and intruders on Tajikistans border with Afghanistan, the Tajik border protection agency says. Heavily armed raiders from Afghanistan crossed into Tajikistan at the village of Kavo in the Shamsiddin Shokhin district on Tuesday and were located on Wednesday, according to a statement by the border agency published by Tajik news agency Khovar.

Prosecutors in Berlin said they have arrested three suspected Hamas operatives. The suspects were preparing attacks on Israeli and Jewish institutions in Germany, authorities said. Hamas has been designated a a terrorist organization by Germany, the EU, the US and several governments. The three men, two Germans and one Lebanese national, were identified by authorities as Abed Al G., Wael F. M. and Ahmad I.

Authorities are also searching for a second man associated with the group who vanished in 2017. Ghanem, 40, was reported missing shortly after he visited a Starbucks in Redlands, where he was meant to meet someone, according to police. A rented Nissan Frontier pickup, which he was driving that day, was spotted on surveillance video sometime after the same day in Grand Terrace.
