As Hamas’ position in the Gaza Strip deteriorates, the terror group is looking to carry out attacks on Israelis abroad and on Diaspora Jews.
The Hamas terror organization is targeting Diaspora Jews and Israeli targets overseas, as its own military capabilities inside the Gaza Strip dwindle, Israeli security officials warned on Tuesday.
In a statement released ahead of the Passover holiday and the upcoming summer vacation season, Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) noted that Hamas “remains committed to attacking Jewish and Israeli targets abroad,” adding that the Islamist terror group has displayed increased interest in attacks abroad, “particularly in response to its deteriorating situation in Gaza and the resumption of fighting, which is expected to increase Hamas’ motivation for attacks.”
Since October 7th, 2023, the NSC report said, a number of terror plots orchestrated by Hamas in Europe have been thwarted, including planned attacks in Denmark, Germany, Bulgaria, and Sweden.
