Germany, with assistance from Israel's Mossad, apprehended three suspected Hamas operatives on Wednesday in Germany, disrupting a terrorist cell planning attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets. The operation, spanning multiple countries, also led to the discovery of weapons caches and the arrest of additional suspects across Europe. The arrests were made possible through close cooperation between the Mossad and German security forces, who seized weapons allegedly intended for the planned attacks. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the operation on behalf of Mossad this morning. This development comes amid ongoing tensions and follows an incident earlier this morning, between 8:05 AM and 8:35 AM UTC, where the Israeli military reported killing two Hamas operatives in Gaza City. According to the IDF, the operatives were eliminated by an Israeli Air Force drone after approaching Kfir Brigade troops armed with an RPG. Footage of this incident was published by the military. Meanwhile, a flotilla of nine boats carrying approximately 100 activists is currently en route to Gaza, aiming to breach the naval blockade. The vessel 'Conscience' departed from Italy on Wednesday, and the activists expect interception by the Israeli Navy. This follows the recent interception of a previous flotilla, the last vessel of which, the 'Marinette', was taken into custody early Friday morning after experiencing mechanical issues. In Gaza, a resident was quoted on X stating, “We are men of Islam. The men of Gaza will rule the entire world. I swear to Allah we will rule the entire world.” Separately, reports from the ground indicated that a left-wing activist, Itamar Greenberg, was reportedly beaten by a fighter, and footage documented terrorists approaching IDF fighters with an RPG in Gaza City before being eliminated from the air.
