The 29-year-old is said to have travelled to Lebanon to take part in the conflict against Israel and received military training there.
A new blow against Islamic terrorism , tragically still well-rooted in Europe. Investigators from the Berlin criminal police have arrested a man suspected, as explained by the spokesman for the police force, “of preparing a serious act of violence that would endanger the state”. According to Welt , a 29-year-old of Lebanese origin was arrested in his home in the Neukölln district of Berlin.
According to reports, the authorities learned about this individual through his online posts. Special forces raided his apartment, searched his car and arrested him. The 29-year-old is said to have traveled to Lebanon between November 2023 and May 2024 to take part in the conflict against Israel alongside Hezbollah . He is also said to have received training in the use of firearms and military equipment, with the aim of “enabling participants to commit violent acts such as murder, manslaughter, kidnapping for the purpose of extortion and hostage-taking in order to destroy the State of Israel,” according to a statement from the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Just 24 hours before this arrest, the news was released that European authorities had dismantled a
logistics network operating in Spain, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Germany, which between the summer of 2024 and April 2025 supplied Lebanese terrorists with components for the construction of
military drones , masking their activities behind commercial companies. This was reported by the French newspaper
Le Figaro . The investigation started in Spain, where the Guardia Civil detected anonymous purchases of components related to the construction of unmanned aircraft. The arrested people, all of Lebanese origin, purchased electronic guidance systems, propellers, petrol engines, over 200 electric motors and tons of resins and composite materials for the manufacture of fuselages and wings.
According to the authorities, similar components may have already been used against Israel and there are suspicions that a large naval shipment was imminent.
The discovery of this network allied to Hezbollah was made possible thanks to the cooperation of various European intelligence services, and highlighted the need for increasingly close collaboration to counter the rearmament of terrorist groups.
