Israeli officials say they have uncovered “a comprehensive and in-depth picture of Hamas’s terrorist activities” as well as “information on the intention to attack the Israeli Embassy in Sweden, the acquisition of UAVs and the use of elements from criminal organizations in Europe.”
Over the weekend, the Israel intelligence agency Mossad and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) revealed “considerable” information that demonstrated Hamas was acting to “expand its violent activity abroad in order to attack innocents around the world,” including targets in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Intelligence includes information about Hamas commanders in Lebanon to the last attackers in the operational infrastructure.
Foreign Desk News reports: According to officials, Hamas’s “inspiration” from such attacks was based on the terrorist activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which seeks to kill Israelis, Jews, and Westerners by any means necessary.
“The Mossad, the ISA, and the IDF, in conjunction with the international security and enforcement bodies, will continue their efforts to thwart the terrorist intentions of Hamas and all terrorist organizations and to settle accounts with them everywhere in the world, on behalf of the security of the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” the statement read.
Last Friday, Danish police said that several people suspected of involvement in a terrorist attack were discovered by authorities in December and had connections to Hamas. Police officials said that they arrested three people in Denmark suspected of engaging in a “terror” attack but did not provide further details.
Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard stated that the connection to Hamas “confirms that the threat against Denmark is serious, but luckily, we have a strong police and intelligence service doing their best to protect us every day.”
