Berlin Court Probes Alleged Hamas Operatives Over European Weapons Depots

Four men are accused of ties to Hamas and attempting to locate hidden weapons caches in Europe for potential attacks.

Four suspects are on trial in Berlin for alleged membership in Hamas and involvement in creating or accessing weapons depots across Europe.
The investigation began after a foreign intelligence tip following Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and led to the Gaza conflict.
Authorities claim the suspects attempted to locate a Hamas weapons cache in Poland multiple times in late 2023 but were unsuccessful.
Evidence presented includes data showing reconnaissance of sites like the Israeli Embassy in Berlin and the US military base in Ramstein.
A weapons depot linked to one of the suspects was discovered in Bulgaria in December 2023, containing functional but rusted firearms.
