German Interior Ministry launches raids on Hamas supporters

The German Interior Ministry raided 15 locations throughout the country in order to enforce a ban on the activities of Hamas and the Samidoun - Palestinian Solidarity Network on Thursday, according to a press release by the ministry.

The locations were searched on orders from administrative courts in Berlin, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Schleswig-Holstein.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser stated that "We are continuing our consistent action against radical Islamists. With the bans on Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any glorification or support of the barbaric terror of Hamas against Israel."

"Islamists and antisemites cannot and must not feel safe anywhere here. These extremists must reckon with the full rigor of the rule of law. We are keeping a close eye on the Islamist scene."
