Hamas terrorists were quietly building a sprawling European terror network for years — stockpiling guns, scouting targets, and even filming a martyrdom-style video — as they plotted a massacre on the continent to mirror the horrific October 7 attack on Israel, according to a bombshell investigation released last week.
The chilling scheme, uncovered through a joint probe by European intelligence agencies and reported by Swiss outlet Neue Zürcher Zeitung, spanned at least seven countries: Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Poland, and Britain. The terror group eyed the second anniversary of its 2023 rampage, October 7, 2025, as a possible attack date, according to the report.
The plot first cracked open in early June, when a 37-year-old Egyptian man of Palestinian descent was busted on the Greek island of Crete. Cops raiding his apartment found bomb-making chemicals, and investigators say he’d been coordinating with two Cyprus-based Palestinians on a plan to blow up an Israeli cruise ship. The sting was fittingly code-named “Odin.”
But the real nerve center of the operation, authorities say, was Germany. Since last fall, federal prosecutors have ordered the arrest of nine suspected Hamas operatives across the country, accused of targeting Jewish and Israeli institutions. Investigators recovered a pre-recorded propaganda video claiming responsibility for attacks that never came to pass.
German officials say Hamas had turned the country into a weapons pipeline, smuggling at least 13 handguns, an assault rifle and more than 900 rounds of ammo through Denmark, Berlin, and Vienna. It wasn’t the first bust, as four Hamas members were already convicted in Berlin earlier this year for stashing weapons caches across Europe.
The network’s roots go back even further. Federal investigators say a Hamas cell was ordered from Lebanon back in 2019 to start hiding weapons across Europe, with caches later dug up in Bulgaria and Denmark. More were feared buried along the German-Polish border. Suspects were finally caught after guards noticed them repeatedly crossing that border toting shovels, apparently hunting for their own buried arsenal. Arrests came in December 2023.
By the spring of 2023, prosecutors say, the same cell was ordered to haul the weapons into Germany and prep strikes on Jewish, Israeli, or American sites. Those sites included the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the U.S. airbase in Ramstein, and Berlin’s Tempelhofer Feld park.
Investigators say the whole operation was run out of Lebanon, with Berlin cell members spotted at the funeral of slain Hamas military commander Khalil al-Kharaz.
Hamas has denied any role in the alleged plot, insisting its fight is limited to Israel. But terror expert Hans-Jakob Schindler called that claim hard to swallow, warning a weakened Hamas may increasingly look to strike outside the Middle East for maximum shock value.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY ON ANY LEVEL
But Trump’s offer of Gaza resorts will undoubtedly turn them into respectable politicians. /s
You-Rope needs to shed itself of Islam.
Think of a new Charles Martel action.
Hammer them all OUT, or live in Dhimmitute forever.
Just in case it’s not clear:
“The French word martel translates to hammer in English. Etymologically, it derives from the Old French martel (modern French marteau), which comes from the Late Latin martellus, a variant of marculus meaning “small hammer.”
In modern usage, the standard noun for hammer is marteau, while martel is considered an archaic form or appears in specific historical and idiomatic contexts:
Literal Meaning: A hammer, specifically a war hammer or pole hammer (historically known as martel-de-fer).
Idiomatic Expression: The phrase se mettre martel en tête translates to to worry oneself sick or to lose sleep over something.
Verb Form: The related verb marteler means to hammer (literally striking with a hammer) or to hammer home (metaphorically, such as repeating a message insistently). “
but Hamas is a wing of the democrat party!
“martel-de-fer
noun
-dəˈfer
plural-s
: a weapon like a hammer usually with one side of the head pointed that was used especially by horsemen in the middle ages to break armor”
And now we have circled back again to an Israel-Saudi Arabia treaty. The. Exact. Same. One.
Most Freepers just simply don't comprehend this, that Palis, long before this spat, have debased themselves as a 'nation', as mooselime-for-hire terrorists.
Along with the fact that Freeptards actively disparage President Trump for having anything to do with foreign affairs that affect the US, they compound their ignorance that isolating Iran doesn't just mean bombing Iran into glass, but making Iran bow into impermanence.
Destroy. Persia.
Xerxes got his ass handed to him by the West -- at least Xerxes was a man, and not (yet) a maimed Gayatollah.
The best these slimes can do is rotate Speaker of the Day in order to delay the inevitable.
...and all the usual suspects are instantly drowning this out by shrieking even LOUDER about the ZioNAZI “genocide” against Occupied Palestine.
It is only natural that we examine and re-examine our premises with regard to this subject. We are told repeatedly by the media, Education, and segments of government that all of us conservatives are on the wrong side of this.
They don’t have any thing on the left that makes them introspective, something that makes them re-examine their beliefs.
But we do. And that’s a good thing.
Because every time I re-examine this, I come out on the same side of these things. Against those barbarous beasts, and for the West.
And it isn’t even close every single time
“Hammer them all OUT, or live in Dhimmitute forever.”
TRUE.
AND that applies to the United States too.
They ALL need to be seen as the ENEMY COMBATANTS they are and EXPELLED from the US.
The way that LOUD Anti-Semitism has become both ubiquitous and normalised on this particular site, as of late, is certainly not doing our side any favours, either. :(
“Religion of Peace”.
Like in the movie “Mars Attacks”
We come in peace, we come in peace.
I find it pretty disgusting myself. But there are a lot of things that are set on this site, it appears not to be reasonably moderated anymore at least not from any leadership source.
We even have people on this site who are sympathetic to Luigi Mangione. I find that both appalling and disgusting. But there you are.
MoFos are all about murder of the infidel. It’s in their manifesto. There is no downside in the act. Survive…you’re a hero. Killed…you’re a martyr.
Islamic Genocides: fakestine branch
If that happened it would just give something else for the fools in the US to deny happening and continue to carry “Free Palestine” banners.
You need a lot more participants and many more guns to recreate 6 Oct in EU. There were thousands of terrorists swarming across the border from Gaza.
