German and Danish police thwarted a Hamas plot to attack Jewish institutions in Europe.
Seven suspects were arrested, with three in Germany, three in Denmark, and one in the Netherlands.
The plot involved transporting weapons from an undisclosed European location to Berlin.
The suspects, allegedly linked to Hamas, were planning broader attacks across Europe.
The Community Security Trust expressed concerns about potential implications for the UK.
The arrested individuals had connections to criminal gangs in Europe, and security measures around Jewish sites were intensified.
The plot was described as “as serious as it gets” by the Danish prime minister.
The Mossad and Shin Bet reportedly played a role in alerting authorities.
The increased risk of attacks on Jews in Europe was highlighted, with EU officials warning of a heightened security risk over the winter holiday period.
Sanctions were imposed on Iran-linked individuals in the US and UK amid concerns about financing Hamas activities.
