European intelligence agencies have recently thwarted Iranian terror plots relying on the use of organized crime groups to attack Jewish institutions in France and Germany.
According to the report, the terror cell did manage to carry out four arson attacks against Israeli-owned companies in southern France at the end of last year and the beginning of 2024.
The cell’s leader is reportedly a drug dealer from Lyon.
According to the report, one of the suspects, who has been detained in France, spied on a lawyer with Israeli clients in Berlin and visited Munich twice to spy on an unnamed Israeli family.
The head of the now-banned Hamburg Islamic Center (IZH) in Germany received direct instructions from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, including on how to portray Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
