A Hamas terrorist cell had plotted attacks against the Israeli embassy in Berlin and a U.S. military base in Germany, according to a report by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

The suspect, of Lebanese origin, was found to be in possession of target locations on his smartphone.

The suspect was arrested in Berlin in December and has been accused by prosecutors of searching for places to hide weapons for the terrorist group.

The German security services disclosed that the suspect received instructions directly from Hamas officials in Lebanon.
