Israel claims Hamas plotted an attack on its embassy in Sweden, revealing an alleged network member amidst recent arrests by Danish, German, and Swedish authorities. The Mossad statement states the Hamas network, receiving orders from a Lebanon-based command post, aimed to target Israel's embassy, procure paragliders, and activate criminal groups in Europe. While no confirmation on the alleged member's custody status, Sweden's Foreign Ministry emphasizes commitment to Vienna Convention for foreign mission protection. Hamas, traditionally limiting attacks to specific territories, hasn't responded. The revelation follows the group's use of paragliders in the October 7 attack that sparked the Gaza war.
