Germany charges seven men over procuring weapons for Hamas

Germany’s federal prosecutor says it has charged seven men in Berlin over alleged membership in Hamas and preparing a serious violent act endangering the state linked to weapons procurement in Germany.

The prosecutor says the men, acting on orders from senior Hamas figures, secured a fully automatic rifle, 13 pistols and more than 700 rounds of ammunition for a planned attack in Germany or Austria around October 2025 targeting Israeli representatives, Jews or pro-Israel individuals.
