Mohammad S. allegedly procured around 300 rounds of ammunition in preparation for Hamas attacks on Israeli or Jewish targets in Germany and other European countries, prosecutors said.

He was arrested at Berlin’s Brandenburg Airport on Friday upon returning from Lebanon, German prosecutors said.

During the October arrests of three other suspects, police seized an AK-47 assault rifle, several pistols, and a large amount of ammunition, investigators said.
