Four members of the Islamist militant group Hamas have been detained on suspicion of planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe, German prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday.

Three of the suspects were detained in Berlin and another was detained in the Netherlands, according to the prosecutors.

“Following the terrible attacks by Hamas on the Israeli population, attacks on Jews in Jewish institutions have also increased in our country in recent weeks,” said German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann in a statement on the detentions.

[Just in case anyone misses the point, this shows that Hamas isn’t just looking to annihilate the Jews in Israel. They want to annihilate Jews *everywhere.* Those who call for Israelis to relocate out of their own historic homeland ignore the clear intent of Hamas and other radical Islamists, who want to eradicate all Jews. — Ed]
