Police Raid in Berlin

 A suspected Hezbollah supporter has been arrested in a raid on an apartment in Berlin-Neukölln. The 29-year-old is said to have traveled to Lebanon in 2023 to be trained by the militia on firearms and weapons of war, according to the Berlin public prosecutor's office. The public prosecutor's office is investigating on suspicion of a serious criminal offense. "The aim of the training was to be able to carry out acts of violence such as murder, manslaughter, extortionate kidnapping and hostage-taking to destroy the state of Israel," it said. The training therefore took place in the first half of 2024. According to Büchner, there are indications that the accused was trained on anti-tank systems and a Kalashnikov machine gun. It is suspected that the man with German citizenship decided between November 2023 and May 2024 to take part in the conflict on the side of the Hezbollah militia following the terrorist attack on Israel by the Islamist Hamas on October 7, 2023, it said.
