SaralnamaGerman police arrested three suspected Hamas members in Berlin. They allegedly planned attacks on Israeli and Jewish institutions in Germany. Two are German citizens and one is Lebanese-born. Police found weapons and ammunition during the arrests. The suspects will face a federal judge. Hamas denied any connection to the men. The arrests happened a day before Yom Kippur, an important Jewish holiday. German prosecutors charged the men with preparing a serious act of violence and membership in a foreign terrorist group. This follows a similar case from February when four Hamas members went on trial in Berlin. (Updated 2 Oct 2025, 00:13 IST; source: link)
