German police raided the houses of “Hamas supporters” in Berlin
The German Ministry of Interior announced that the country's security forces have searched the homes of Hamas supporters. |
According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the German police raided the homes of people who claimed to be “members and supporters of Hamas and another Palestinian group” on Thursday.
Agence France-Presse reported that the operation was led by 500 German security forces and 13 locations in Berlin were searched.
The German Ministry of the Interior said that the police seized the smartphones, laptops and writings of the people whose homes were searched.
The Minister of the Interior of Germany said that his country is taking action against “extreme Islamists”.
Last week, the German police attacked several centers that are part of an Islamic organization in Hamburg due to their possible connection with the Lebanese Hezbollah.
The German government announced on Thursday last week that police have searched 54 locations across the country as part of an investigation into the “Islamic Center of Hamburg” or IZH.
The German Ministry of the Interior has claimed that IZH has been under the surveillance of the country’s internal intelligence agency for a long time.
This ministry claimed that the activities of the Hamburg Islamic Center are aimed at promoting the “revolutionary concepts” of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is considered a violation of the German constitution.
The German officials also claimed that this center has supported the activities of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, which has been engaged in an exchange of fire with the Israeli regime in recent days.
Germany hosts the largest Muslim population in Europe after France, but numerous reports indicate that Islamophobia has increased significantly in this country.
