Terrorist attack on Israeli embassy: suspect in Berlin!

Bernau bei Berlin, Deutschland - The Federal Prosecutor's office has arrested a suspect that is suspected of having planned an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. The man, a Libyan, is said to have connections to the terrorist organization of Islamic State (IS). According to a spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor, the alleged supporter in the area of Bernau near Berlin was arrested. The arrest took place on the basis of a specific reference to foreign intelligence services, which illustrates the extent of the threat, with which German security authorities are faced.

According to initial information, the accused planned to attack the message, although it is still unclear whether he wanted to fall back on weapons or explosives. In Sankt Augustin, near Bonn, the apartment of another relative was searched, which is currently not suspected, but is considered a witness. The uncle in question could want to help the suspect after a possible attack.

thanks to the security authorities

The Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor expressed gratitude towards the German authorities, since they apparently reacted quickly to ensure the safety of diplomatic representation. In his statements, Prosor emphasized the danger that exists for the embassy staff, especially in the context of growing anti -Semitism, which manifests itself not only in words, but also in violent deeds.

The arrested Libyer is expected to be shown on Sunday to an investigative judge of the Federal Court of Justice, who then has to decide whether it will be put into custody. In this context, the federal prosecutor pointed out that a variety of investigations in the field of Islamist terrorism, especially after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, was initiated in Germany. Attorney General Jens Rommel identified this as one of the greatest dangers, with almost 500 out of over 700 procedures that dealt with Islamist terrorism last year.

The incident illustrates the continuing threats in Germany, where anti -Semitic incidents have increased from attacks on Israel after the youngest wave. The President of the Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, had warned before lowering the inhibition threshold of practicing or calling up violence against Jewish people. The current situation is a serious security risk of reacting the willingness of the security forces to react to threats.
