Germany Arrests Suspected Hamas Member for Gun Acquisition

Police in Germany arrested Lebanese-born Borhan El-K, a suspected Hamas member, for allegedly acquiring weapons to target Jewish institutions. He was detained after crossing from the Czech Republic, with accusations that he procured an automatic rifle and multiple handguns, which were handed to another suspected Hamas member in Berlin. Authorities charged the group with preparing serious violence and being part of a foreign terrorist organization, with the weapons intended for assassination attacks. The arrests occurred just before Yom Kippur, with connections to other arrests in London and ongoing investigations in Denmark.
