A TERROR network targeting Jewish people and Israelis across Europe is reportedly being driven by Iran.

The organised crime cell is made up of gangsters and criminals believed to have been recruited to spy and carry out attacks, with European intelligence agencies scrambling to thwart them.

According to German news outlet Der Spiegel, the crooks have been coming after Jewish institutions across France and Germany on behalf of Iran.

They are reportedly responsible for four arson attacks on Israeli-owned companies in France‘s south in early 2024 and had plans to inflict more terror.

Cops pounced on one of the suspects accused of spying on a lawyer with Israeli clients in Berlin and an Israeli family in Munich.

It sparked fears that they may have been assassination targets.

The suspect had a history of gang violence, Der Spiegel reports.

He is said to have been known to cops in connection to a gang shootout in Marseille back in 2015.

Now it appears as though he was recruited by Tehran to incite fear into Jews in Germany and France, according to explosive documents leaked and seen by Der Spiegel.

The revelations come amid the backdrop of escalating tension in the Middle East, where Israel is locked in conflict with Iranian-backed terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

The terror cell’s chief is said to be a notorious drug dealer from Lyon.

He’s believed to have fled Europe to Iran as cops went on the hunt for him, and is given protection in exchange for coordinating attacks from abroad.

French authorities believe the network can be blamed for the burning down of businesses across the south of France, which appear to have nothing in common except for the fact they are all run by Israelis.

After being arrested, one of the suspects is said to have admitted he scoped out a house in Munich for €1,000.

But he claimed to know nothing of a coordinated effort against Jews being bankrolled by Tehran.

Several Iranian embassies said such an idea was “absurd”, Der Spiegel reports.

Iranian figures have made no secret of their desire to inflict the “destruction of Israel” in the past.

Iran’s proxy puppets continue to engage in tit-for-tat rocket strikes with Israel as the bloody chapter of conflict sparked by October 7 boils on.

It comes as Hamas released disturbing videos of two Israeli hostages before they were brutally murdered.

The terror group published videos of Alex Lobanov, 32, and Carmel Gat, 40, to a telegram channel.

They were among the six captives who were executed and discovered in a Gaza tunnel in Rafah by the Israeli Defence Force.

It’s led to mass protest in Israel as pressure ramps up on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a hostage deal with the militants.

Iran's web of terror

IRAN being accused of having its tentacles spread over terror networks across the globe is not a new phenomenon.

As far back as 1996, two Iranian dissidents were murdered in Turkey.

A plane bound for Athens was hijacked by Iranian-linked terrorist in 1985, an Iranian professor was gunned down in Switzerland in 1990, and an opposition activist was taken out in Italy in 1993.

Fears have been ratcheting up over Iran-linked plots in more recent times across Europe.

Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, France and the UK have all played host to various plots from 2018.

In May this year, Israel‘s spy agency claimed in a rare statement that Iran is increasing its support of groups including Foxtrot, which has been linked to murders and large-scale drug trafficking.

The Mossad agency alleged that Iran is behind a spate of terror attacks on Israeli embassies seen in Europe since October 7.

It claimed the country is currently funding and directing at least two criminal groups, namely Foxtrot and Rumba – both of which have been “directly responsible for a violent activity and the promotion of terrorism in Sweden and throughout Europe”.
