Hamas calls for a “Day of Rage”: riots in Berlin
First report: Berlin/Tel Aviv – After former Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal called on Muslims around the world to join the fight against Israel and send a “message of anger,” there are fears of possible riots. While US Homeland Security currently sees no signs that the call will lead to a “Day of Rage” in the United States, incidents have already occurred in Berlin.
Unknown people are said to have thrown Molotov cocktails at a police car in the Kreuzberg district. The police were on their way to four burning garbage containers on Friedrichstrasse when a group of eight to ten people showed up. The people were masked up, with a kind of tube scarf around their heads and fled towards Mehringplatz. According to the police, two unknown people from the group threw two filled bottles in the direction of the moving emergency vehicle – but they did not explode. According to the police, the emergency services heard the unknown perpetrators shouting “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”).
Concern about attacks on Jewish institutions: “We won’t let ourselves be defeated”
The State Police, which is responsible for politically motivated acts, has already taken over the investigation. After the outbreak of war in Israel, some pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Germany cheered the Hamas attack. Two protests were broken up in Berlin-Neukölln. The government strongly condemned the celebrations and announced measures. There are also warnings about riots in other countries.
Because of the call for violence, security measures at Jewish institutions were also increased again. “Everything possible is being done by both the state and the Jewish side to ensure security,” said the Central Council of Jews and expressly thanked the federal and state security authorities.
Calls for protest and calls for violence against Jewish institutions have also been circulating on social networks since last Wednesday. The threats have not been verified, but there could be copycats or individual perpetrators. “We won’t let ourselves get down. And we stand together,” said the Central Council.
