Were plotting attacks against Jewish targets in Europe
A total of seven suspects have been arrested today in Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark. At least four of them (in Germany and the Netherlands) are believed to be members of Hamas, acting in concert to attack Jewish institutions in Europe. This should give Europeans who support Hamas something to think about. When you have Hamas operatives in the West planning attacks against the West, it is hard to imagine so many thousands of reprobates marching and protesting on their behalf on Western soil.

Arrested Rotterdam terror suspect is a member of Hamas according to German justice (authorities)
The Dutch terror suspect who was arrested today in Rotterdam is being held as an active member of the Palestinian terror organization, Hamas. That is being reported by German justice authorities. The 57-year-old man, Nazih R., according to German authorities, has for years been a member of Hamas and reportedly participated in foreign operations of the organization. What those operations are is not known.
Three other suspects in the same investigation are in custody in Germany. They are Mohamed El-R. from Egypt and Lebanese-born Abdelhamid Al A. and Ibrahim El-R. The four, according to German authorities, have close ties with the military leaders of Hamas. They are "strongly suspected" by the German Public Prosecutor of membership in a foreign terror organization.
The Dutch police earlier reported today that the man arrested in Rotterdam is wanted by Danish and German authorities. In Denmark, there were also three suspects arrested. Whether there is a connection with this case is not known.
The National Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism and Security in the Netherlands will not comment on this case. This week, he raised the threat level in the Netherlands from 3 (significant) to 4 (substantial). That means that there is a real chance that an attack will take place in the Netherlands. The threat level in Germany was also raised recently.
Weapons storage site
German authorities say that one of the four arrested men, on the request of Hamas, went looking for a weapons storage site. He reportedly was tasked by Hamas leaders in Lebanon. Three of the four men, according to authorities, traveled out of Berlin looking for weapons with the goal of carrying out an attack on Jewish institutions. Another (suspect) supported them in this (effort).
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says that Danish security services have thwarted an attack upon civilians in the "name of Hamas". The Israeli Secret Service Mossad says that "Hamas infrastructure on European soil" is exposed.
