<\/a>Hamas Expands European Reach, Posing \u2018High Likelihood\u2019 of Terror Attack in Next Six Months, Intel Report Warns<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAilin Vilches Arguello<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Hamas operatives have pushed far beyond Gaza, embedding themselves across Europe \u2014 and now posing a growing threat inside the United Kingdom, where covert arms caches and active attack plots have put intelligence services on high alert, according to a new report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even though Hamas has traditionally focused its operations in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, the Palestinian terrorist group has been\u00a0steadily cultivating foreign attack capabilities<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a trend highlighted in a new report obtained by\u00a0The Daily Mirror<\/i>, which warns of a looming threat of Hamas-led attacks in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n Intelligence assessments indicate that the terrorist group, backed for years by Iran, Qatar, and Turkey, has been gradually expanding its presence in Europe\u00a0through a network of charities, NGOs<\/a>, and criminal gangs, with Israeli diplomatic missions, Israel-linked businesses, and Jewish religious sites among its top targets.<\/span><\/p>\n The report also notes that the group has not only stockpiled weapons\u00a0such as AK-47s and ammunition<\/a>\u00a0but is increasingly turning to drone warfare, bolstered by backing from Lebanon and Iran and supported by Eastern European crime networks that help it acquire advanced weaponry.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Oct. 7, 2023, assault fundamentally altered Israel\u2019s threat perceptions, but also reshaped Hamas\u2019s calculations,\u201d the report says, referring to the Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFollowing catastrophic damage to its infrastructure in Gaza and significant leadership attrition, the group\u2019s remaining command nodes particularly those in Lebanon began activating contingency plans long under development,\u201d it continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe organization\u2019s leadership now appears more willing to accept the strategic risks of external operations. If Hamas sustains further attrition, external operations may grow in relative importance within the group\u2019s strategy,\u201d the intelligence report adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to the United Kingdom\u2019s domestic counter-intelligence and security agency, MI5, and the Joint Terrorism Analysis Center, the current\u00a0threat level of a terror attack<\/a>\u00a0in the UK is assessed to be \u201csubstantial.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Over the next six months, the report warns, there is a \u201chigh likelihood of continued attempts at external operations, particularly in Europe, as Hamas seeks to demonstrate resilience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This assessment comes amid multiple intelligence findings showing that Hamas has expanded its terrorist operations beyond the Middle East, leveraging a long-established network of weapons caches, criminal alliances, and covert infrastructure quietly built across Europe over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n In October, West Point\u2019s Combating Terrorism Center released a study detailing how Hamas leaders in Lebanon have directed operatives to establish \u201cforeign operator\u201d cells across Europe, collaborating with organized crime networks to acquire weapons and target Jewish communities abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, a failed Hamas plot involved an alleged operative in Germany traveling to Lebanon to \u201creceive orders from the Qassam Brigades [Hamas\u2019s military wing] to set up an arms depot for Hamas in Bulgaria,\u201d part of a broader, multi-year effort to cache weapons across Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n German authorities foiled the plan, detaining four Hamas members in late 2023 on suspicion of planning attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0the four suspects went on trial in Berlin<\/a>\u00a0in what prosecutors described as Germany\u2019s first-ever case against members of the Palestinian terrorist group.<\/span><\/p>\n During the investigation, German authorities also found evidence on a defendant\u2019s USB device showing that the Hamas operatives were planning attacks on specific sites in Germany, including the Israeli embassy in Berlin.<\/span><\/p>\n Similar weapons depots were established in Denmark, Poland, and other European countries, with Hamas members repeatedly trying to retrieve them to support their operations and plan potential attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Hamas Expands European Reach, Posing \u2018High Likelihood\u2019 of Terror Attack in Next Six Months, Intel Report Warns Ailin Vilches Arguello Palestinian Hamas terrorists stand guard at a site as Hamas says it continues to search for the bodies of deceased hostages, in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, Dec. 3, 2025.
