TEL AVIV, Israel – Israeli security authorities have disclosed that Hamas is actively plotting terror attacks in various regions including the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. According to Mossad, the Israel security agency, and the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), there is substantial evidence indicating Hamas’ efforts to expand its violent activities outside its usual operating areas in order to target civilians around the world. This revelation follows the recent arrest of seven suspects linked to Hamas, who were apprehended by Danish and German authorities for planning attacks in Europe.
The Israeli security agencies provided detailed information about Hamas’ terrorist activities, including their intended areas of operation, potential targets for attacks, and the individuals involved in executing these activities. This information also highlighted Hamas’ plans to attack the Israeli Embassy in Sweden, as well as their acquisition of UAVs and collaboration with criminal organizations in Europe. Furthermore, Israeli authorities emphasized that Hamas draws inspiration from Iran’s global terrorist activities, indicating the influence of Iran on Hamas’ agenda.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel has resulted in a significant loss of life, with at least 23,968 casualties and 60,582 injuries over the course of 100 days of war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has remained steadfast in his commitment to combating Hamas, asserting that “no one will stop us” from dismantling the group, despite international criticism and opposition from Iran-aligned groups in the region.
In summary, Israeli security authorities have sounded the alarm regarding Hamas’ expansion of its terror operations beyond its traditional areas of activity. The recent arrests in Europe serve as a stark reminder of the threat posed by the group to innocent civilians worldwide. Additionally, the ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to take a heavy toll, with thousands of casualties and injuries as the hostilities persist.
