"Federal police arrested a suspected Hamas member soon after his entry into Germany on the A17 autobahn near the Czech border, prosecutors said on Wednesday. The Lebanese-born man is accused of procuring weapons that were supposed to be used for attacks on Israeli or Jewish sites in Germany and Europe, the federal prosecutor's office based in Karlsruhe said. The suspect, who was detained on Tuesday, was to be transported to Karlsruhe,"
"The man is suspected of procuring an automatic weapon, eight pistols and more than 600 rounds of ammunition in Berlin in August 2025. He is alleged to have then transported these to another alleged Hamas member who is already in pretrial detention. Prosecutors said that the weapons and ammunition were seized during the arrest of his presumed accomplice. On October 1 this year, prosecutors in Berlin arrested three alleged Hamas members, accused of procuring weapons for attacks."

Related probes uncovered a weapons cache in Vienna and prompted arrests in Berlin and London in connection with the same investigations.
