Three members of a terrorist cell suspected of connections to Hamas and planning attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets were arrested in Germany on Wednesday, officials announced. The operation, facilitated by close cooperation between Israel's Mossad and German security forces, also uncovered weapons intended for attacks and exposed a wider-ranging Mossad campaign across Europe. The arrests were made by Germany's internal security service, which apprehended the suspects in possession of weapons, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office on behalf of Mossad. This operation is part of a broad Mossad initiative throughout Europe that has resulted in the location of weapons caches and the arrest of additional suspects for suspected terrorist activities. In France, Marine Tondelier of EELV commented on Wednesday during consultations in Matignon between Sébastien Lecornu and party leaders, describing the Prime Minister's strategy as "a strategy of the chloroform, that is to say that he seeks to put us asleep," after 22 days of observation. Separately, approximately fifteen drones were observed flying over the Elsenborn military base near the German border at around 1:45 a.m. local time on October 3rd, 2025, Belgium's Defense Ministry announced. The Defense Minister confirmed the airspace intrusion, and an investigation into the incident is underway. This development occurred between 00:45 UTC and 02:45 UTC on October 3rd, 2025. This incident follows reports from Poland detailing alleged sabotage operations planned by Russia's GRU military intelligence agency across Poland, Lithuania, and Germany, which involved explosives concealed within food cans.
