The threat of Hamas attacks in Germany is once again in focus following the indictment of seven suspected Hamas members. Israel’s ambassador Ron Prosor warns of a continued high terrorist threat: “For Hamas, Germany has evolved from a place of refuge into an active terrorist target,” Prosor told RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland.
The background is an indictment by the Federal Public Prosecutor General, which was filed on September 8, 2026, before the State Security Senate of the Berlin Higher Regional Court. The seven men are accused, among other things, of membership in a foreign terrorist organization and preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state.
Hamas Attacks in Germany: What the Indictment Says
According to the Federal Public Prosecutor General’s account, Hamas had been planning a specific attack in Germany or Austria since at least July 2025. The indictment names representatives of Israel, people of the Jewish faith, and individuals supportive of Israel as possible targets. The attack was reportedly intended to take place in early October 2025, and thus in close temporal proximity to the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
In response to the indictment, Prosor told RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland, the threat remained high. His statement that Germany had evolved for Hamas from a place of refuge into an active terrorist target is a security-policy assessment by the Israeli ambassador. The specific allegation of an attack itself comes from the investigations and the indictment by the Federal Public Prosecutor General. SCHLAGSEITE has already summarized further background on the alleged Hamas structures and the investigations in Europe in the article “Hamas in Europe: Weapons, Networks and Suspected Attack Plot”.
