Israel said on Thursday that seven people arrested by intelligence and law enforcement agencies in Denmark for planning an attack on civilians had operated ‘on behalf of’ Hamas.
Israel’s Mossad spy agency said that the Danish agencies had exposed ‘Hamas infrastructure on European soil,’ according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s office.
The suspects were arrested in Denmark and one in the Netherlands on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack, Danish police said on Thursday, adding the moves followed a coordinated cross-border police effort.
