A major investigation by Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung reveals that Hamas spent years building an operational terrorist network across Europe, including weapons caches, bomb-making capabilities and sleeper cells preparing attacks against Jewish, Israeli and Western targets. Investigators believe the network had even selected October 7, 2025, the second anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel, as the planned date for an attack.
The latest arrests began in Greece and Cyprus. Greek special forces detained a 37-year-old Egyptian man of Palestinian origin, identified by some local media as Motasem, after investigators reportedly found chemicals, a precision scale and equipment that could be used to manufacture explosives in his Athens apartment.
Authorities believe the Greek-Cypriot cell was preparing to attack an Israeli cruise ship that regularly docks in Greece. The suspect and another Palestinian traveled through Switzerland, Qatar and Indonesia to Malaysia in 2025, where investigators believe they received bomb-making training.
The investigation connects the plot to a wider network spanning Germany, Austria, Denmark, Britain, Poland, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece. Since October 2025, Germany's federal prosecutor has ordered the arrests of nine men in Germany and abroad.
The network transported at least 13 handguns, an AK-47 and more than 900 rounds of ammunition through Scandinavia, Germany and Austria. Five Glock pistols were moved from Denmark through Berlin to Vienna, where Austrian intelligence later discovered a weapons cache.
German investigators say Hamas had been creating weapons depots in Europe since at least 2019. In December 2023, Bulgarian police uncovered a suitcase containing weapons and ammunition buried in woodland near Plovdiv after German authorities found photographs of the cache on a suspect's phone.
In February 2023, eight months before the October 7 massacre, the German cell received orders from Hamas officials in Lebanon to prepare attacks against Jewish, Israeli or American targets. Suspects reportedly surveilled Ramstein Air Base, the Israeli Embassy in Berlin and Tempelhofer Feld.
Investigators believe the operation was directed by Hamas commanders in Lebanon, including senior military figure Khalil al-Kharraz, who was killed in an Israeli strike in 2023. Several members of the German cell were filmed attending his funeral in Lebanon.
The investigation concludes that Hamas may no longer view Europe merely as a fundraising and logistical base, but as a potential battlefield for attacks designed to bring the Middle East conflict directly onto European soil.
Thanks to Liberal policies, Canada lost $1 trillion in investments!
Mark Carney is keeping Liberal anti-development laws in place.
Even his own company Brookfield pulled money out of Canada and into the U.S.
Conservatives have a common sense plan to lower taxes, restore confidence, and fix our broken economy.
BREAKING: Mark Carney promised to double housing starts. Today, his own housing agency says they'll fall by up to 21% by 2028. It was all an illusion.
He has built bureaucracy, not homes; and cut ribbons, not red tape; bailed out the Liberal club, not housed the people.
@LarryBrockMP If I just got to keep an additional $250 per week, I could pay off my house sooner or contribute to my retirement savings a lot more than I already am... It would get me off OAS and save money for the people that need it.
The Kamloops residential school hoax has become a defining moment in the relationship between Canada and Indigenous people.
They pushed the lie too far, and it was the flashpoint, the moment when people finally had enough.
And now they're trying to criminalize any debate on the issue because accountability is a dangerous thing when you have something to hide.
Prime Minister,
You said: “Any sharing of the toll revenue won't happen until all the debt, all of the debt, is repaid."
Yet we learned last night that you had signed a deal that gives the U.S. “50% of net bridge and crossing related revenues for the first 15 fiscal years of bridge operations.” Before debt repayment. Just profit sharing on a bridge 100% built with our tax dollars.
The opposite of what you said.
How do we trust anything else you say about dealing with the U.S.?

BREAKING: Statistics Canada reveals violent crime up 57% under this Liberal government, rising again in 2025 despite Mark Carney’s endless promises.
Gun crimes have doubled as Liberals waste money banning firearms of hunters, farmers, and sport shooters.
Liberals will never clean up the mess they caused. Only Conservatives will scrap Liberal bail and end the revolving door of repeat violent criminals.
@TrendPolCa@MarkJCarney I see Mark Carney is skipping the Laurentian progressive middleman altogether and importing his ideologues from Blue State America directly
We are an occupied country
Makes sense.
Our temporary foreign worker/corporate raider PM just outsourced the operations of the PMO to a foreign contractor who doesn't follow our ethics disclosures and is essentially a foreign operative out of the U.S.
When this is all over, new rules need to be put in place.
All high ranking offices should require current Canadian residency for the past 15 years or greater.
No exceptions. Especially anyone operating anything out of the PMO.
Canada already has a Chief Operating Officer. He’s called the Prime Minister.
The role of Prime Minister entails day-to-day duties associated with overseeing operations necessary to run a country. Our Prime Minister is too important to waste his time on governing so he’s handed it off to an American Democrat.
Canada, eh?
Elbows up!
@garymasonglobe Maybe they'll just start calling it a condo buyback.
So far, that seems to be their go-to strategy when devising stupid, broadly disliked programs involving the use of public money to buy private property.
@gregorrobertson Vancouver's average home price increased by 198% during your tenure as Mayor.
It's literally - LITERALLY - difficult to imagine anyone less qualified to serve as our Minister of Housing, amidst a housing crisis.

@Polysesouvient “weapons designed for war”……more fear mongering drama from the ideological propagandists at Poly. Grave dancing on this tragedy before the slain officer is even buried. Polys approach is to never miss a chance to manipulate a tragedy to your advantage.Truly disgusting behaviour
@Polysesouvient Actually, as per our earliest foundational documents and traditions, from France as well as England, it was the duty of the people to be armed for national defense. Not a right, not a privilege, a duty. I don't know what masters you serve, but I stand for our nation.
If the maniac who killed a cop in Montreal had driven all the way there and then used his vehicle to drive up on the sidewalk and kill pedestrians, would @Polysesouvient even bother commenting?
The goal is obvious. No guns at all - except for organized crime, because they only focus on licenced gun owners.
