A German court has sentenced a 20-year-old Syrian man, identified as Wassim Al M, to 13 years in prison for stabbing a Spanish tourist at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial. The court found that Al M intended to carry out the attack on behalf of the Islamic State group, believing he would find Jewish individuals at the site. The victim survived but continues to receive psychological treatment. Al M, who arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied minor in 2023, was arrested shortly after the attack.
