Hamas Plotted Attacks in Europe From Qatar, Mossad Says
20th November 2025
Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency says recent Hamas terror plots foiled in Europe were planned in Qatar, with investigators also examining possible links to operatives in Turkey.
The revelation comes after a lengthy investigation, carried out alongside European authorities, that uncovered weapons caches and led to the arrest of terror suspects. The weapons were “intended for use by Hamas cells to harm innocent civilians on command.”
Earlier this month, German authorities arrested a 39-year-old British man suspected of working with Hamas members in Germany who were allegedly plotting attacks on Jewish targets. His Berlin contact, German citizen Abed Al G., was among three alleged Hamas “foreign operatives” detained in October while attempting to procure weapons for attacks. Prosecutors say he received five handguns and ammunition, which he then transported to Vienna for storage.
