  • Germany arrests suspected Hamas member over alleged attack plot

    Germany arrests suspected Hamas member over alleged attack plot


    German police have arrested a Lebanese national on suspicion of being a member of Hamas and planning attacks in Europe.

    The man, named as “Mohammad S”, was stopped at Berlin’s Brandenburg Airport after arriving from Beirut on Friday evening.

    Federal prosecutors said that in August 2025 he helped procure 300 rounds of ammunition and was involved in an alleged plot to attack Jewish and Israeli institutions.

    He is due to be brought before a federal judge who will decide on a pretrial detention.

    Hamas, which controlled Gaza but has been severely weakened by Israeli operations in the territory, is considered a terrorist organisation by the US, UK, Israel and many other countries.

    The militant Palestinian group carried out the attacks on Israel in October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 people taken hostage.

    Since then, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military action.

    German authorities say “Mohammad S” colluded with “Abed Al G”, one of three alleged Hamas members arrested last October over planned attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions.

    The three were reportedly arrested while meeting for a weapons handover in Berlin. Two of them are Germany nationals, another is from Lebanon.

    Around the time of the arrests, police searches also took place in the German cities of Leipzig and Oberhausen, Der Spiegel reported.

    Separately, in November, German authorities arrested another suspected member of Hamas – also a Lebanese national – near the border with the Czech Republic.

  • Climber delays rope-free skyscraper ascent over rain

    Climber delays rope-free skyscraper ascent over rain

    Alex Honnold was the first climber to perform a rope-free ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

    An American climber has postponed scaling the Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest buildings, rope-free for another 24 hours due to wet weather.

    Alex Honnold, who scaled El Capitan in California’s Yosemite National Park without a rope in 2017, said on Saturday: “Sadly it’s raining in Taipei right now so I don’t get to go climbing.”

    The skyscraper in Taiwan’s capital measures 508m (1,667ft) and is made of steel, glass and concrete. It contains eight sections, each with a slight overhang designed to resemble joints on a bamboo stick.

    Netflix – which will stream the event – says there will be a delay on the live feed should the worst happen.

    “It’s obviously a conversation that everybody has,” Netflix executive Jeff Gaspin told Variety magazine. “We’ll cut away. We have a 10-second delay. Nobody expects or wants to see anything like that to happen.”

    The climb is now due to take place on Sunday. Announcing the delay, Netflix said: “Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding.”

    Taipei 101 has been conquered before. In 2004, France’s Alain Robert, who called himself Spiderman, climbed it in four hours using a safety belt and rope.

    Netflix said there will be three stages to Honnold’s rope-free climb.

    First, there is an initital 113m section of sloping steel and glass followed by the eight “bamboo” boxes before reaching the final stage which includes scaling the spire at the very top of the tower.

    Taipei 101’s surfaces were deemed too wet for a climb on Saturday

    Honnold, 40, who is married with two children, said it was “a lifelong dream” to scale a skyscraper.

    His historic 2017 ascent of El Capitan without a rope was documented in the film Free Solo, which won an Academy Award.

    An enormous sheer granite rock face of approximately 3,000 feet (915m), El Capitan is a major landmark in Yosemite and entices big-wall rock climbers from all over the world.
