⭕️🧵JUST IN MUST READ: Israel Prime Minister's Office on behalf of the Mossad for Intelligence and Special Operations: "The Hamas Octopus" – exposed the terror infrastructures built by the Hamas leadership in the heart of Europe

A determined struggle to thwart attacks worldwide: Close cooperation between Mossad and intelligence and law enforcement agencies in Europe has led to the seizure of weapons caches and arrests of terror operatives on the continent

Following a prolonged investigation led by the Mossad for Intelligence and Special Operations, and thanks to cooperation with intelligence and law enforcement agencies in Europe, terror infrastructures built by Hamas with the aim of carrying out attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets were recently thwarted.

Law enforcement authorities in Europe, including in Germany and Austria, conducted a series of complex operations resulting in the arrest of terror operatives and the exposure of weapons caches intended to be used by terror cells to harm innocent people on command day.'

In a special operation by the Austrian Security and Intelligence Service (DSN) in Vienna last September, a weapons cache was uncovered and confiscated, containing pistols and explosives. During the investigation of those involved, it was revealed that the items hidden in the discovered cache belonged to Hamas operative Mohammad Naim, son of senior Hamas political bureau member Basem Naim, a figure close to Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip

The involvement of the organization's leadership in Qatar in promoting terror activities is not being revealed for the first time, although senior movement officials often publicly deny it repeatedly as part of their efforts to protect Hamas's image before the international public.

As part of the investigation that exposed Mohammad Naim's responsibility in building the terror infrastructure in Vienna, additional information emerged about a meeting held in Qatar between him and his father, Basem Naim, a senior Hamas leader, last September. The timing of this meeting indicates possible involvement of the Hamas leadership in promoting terror in Europe while authorizing movement operatives to advance terror under their authority and jurisdiction.* The movement leadership's broad denials on the matter may only indicate a loss of control over its rogue operatives.

The investigation of Hamas's terror network in Europe is currently examining possible involvement of Hamas elements in Turkey in promoting the intentions of the attacks, some of which have been exposed.* This is in light of Turkey being a convenient operational arena for Hamas operatives in the past and present. As part of the investigation by European security and law enforcement agencies, in November last year, prominent operative Burhan al-Khatib was arrested in Germany after staying in Turkey, apparently after completing his operational activities on European soil.

The partnership of European security and law enforcement authorities in the global campaign against the Hamas terror threat reflects the growing international understanding of the escalating threat and their determination to thwart any Hamas terror activity on their soil. Additionally, there is an expansion of the fight by European law enforcement agencies on the legal-political level against incitement and extremism by Hamas and entities operating on its behalf, including associations and religious institutions used by Hamas for fundraising and recruiting terror operatives, as recently done in Germany.

The Mossad, together with its partners in the intelligence and security community in Israel and worldwide, leads extensive efforts to thwart terror against Israeli, Jewish, and innocent targets around the globe.* Since the October massacre of the seven, the Hamas terror organization has intensified its efforts to build infrastructures and recruit terror cells in Europe and other arenas, similar to the Iranian regime and its proxies. Even now, the Mossad continues determined operations to thwart dozens of attack plots worldwide as part of its responsibility to prevent terror abroad and its commitment to Israel's security and defense.
