Vienna – On Sunday followingnoon, in response to an APA request, the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the arrest of three terror suspects who were apparently part of a cross-country Islamist network that is said to have discussed attack plans in Vienna, but also in Cologne and Madrid. According to media reports, Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral was said to be a potential attack target. However, there were probably no assassination plans immediately before implementation. “There are currently no indications that an attack in Vienna was imminent,” said authority spokeswoman Nina Bussek.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza said on Saturday that an Israeli army evacuation order for residents of the central Gaza Strip would move them to areas where airstrikes are underway.

In posts on its Arabic-language networks on Friday, the Israeli army ordered residents of the Bureij refugee camp and surrounding areas to “leave immediately for their own safety” towards an area presented as safe in Deir el-Balah, seven kilometers further south.

“The Israeli military simply orders people to move to areas where airstrikes are underway. No place is safe, (there’s) nowhere to go“, reacted on X the director of Unrwa in Gaza, Thomas White.

“The people in Gaza are human beings. They are not pieces on a chessboard – many have already been moved several times“, he added. Unrwa affirmed that the latest evacuation order concerned “more than 150,000 people“.
