| Another day, another Iran-ordered attack on Jews. Yesterday’s on a Jewish school in Amsterdam can be seen here. |
The newly formed terror group Ashab Al Yamin carried out an improvised explosive device (IED) attack outside an American bank near the World Trade Center in Amsterdam on Sunday.
A spokesperson for Amsterdam Police confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Monday that an explosion occurred at the entrance of an office on Strawinskylaan street, the location of the WTC and one of the Atrium's entrances. They did not confirm the exact target.
"We are investigating this explosion," the spokesperson told the Post. "The fire was immediately extinguished by security. We are reviewing footage and are calling on witnesses to contact the police."
The spokesperson also acknowledged the terror video and confirmed it is also under investigation.
In the new video, the group claimed to have hit the Bank of New York Mellon in the Atrium office building, which is next to the WTC.
The clip shows an unidentified individual lighting an IED and then fleeing the scene, followed by footage of an explosion. The logo at the end of the video differs from previous materials; it still features an upstretched arm with an SVD rifle pointing right, but instead of a globe behind, there is a red flag and olive branches. The phrase 'jihad, steadfastness, victory' also appears at the top.
It then features the text: "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is the Final Warning. To all the people of the world, especially in the European Union, immediately distance yourselves from all American and Zionist interests, facilities, and what is affiliated with them," the group said.
TERROR GROUP TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR LIEGE SYNAGOGUE EXPLOSION
Ashab Al Yamin appeared on the scene in the last week, and has since claimed responsibility for several attacks, including an explosion at Liege synagogue, Belgium, an Amsterdam Jewish school and a Rotterdam synagogue.
The terror group is believed to be linked to the Iraqi resistance. Its videos have been widely disseminated on Shi’ite axis Telegram channels, such as those associated with Hezbollah or the IRGC.
In the early hours of Monday morning, pro-Islamic Resistance channels (especially on Telegram) started sharing the video and claiming an attack on the WTC itself. The Post found the video on several Houthi-linked channels, as well as IRGC ones (such as the prominent X account IranIn Arabic).

...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...over the past week, the Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry said Sunday.
The group, whose name translates to "The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right," emerged publicly this month and is believed to be linked with Iranian terror networks.
The organization grabbed credit for a series of explosions and arson attacks targeting Jewish sites in Belgium, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam between March 9 and March 14 last week, the ministry’s report said. The group also claimed that it had attacked a Jewish site in Greece last Wednesday, although it is not clear what that referred to.
"The recent events in Europe are not isolated incidents but part of a disturbing pattern of action: Terrorist networks affiliated with the Iranian axis are trying to expand their arena of operation into the cities and Jewish communities of Europe," said Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli.
The goal of these attacks was to primarily intimidate Jewish communities and create an environment of fear, the ministry said. Those incidents only damaged property and did not cause any casualties, the report noted.
The group carries out operations through local cells or individual operatives directed from abroad, the report said. Its operational model includes establishing new organizations before each attack, communicating through existing networks used by the terror organization, and hiding behind local operations to protect the culpability of the operation’s leaders. This model, which allows terrorist networks to operate in Europe while maintaining operational ambiguity, may reflect an evolving pattern of attacks through front organizations and proxies, the report noted.
The organization’s ability to coordinate attacks in multiple countries in a short period of time indicates that the risk of further attacks remains significant, it said.
Intelligence analyses indicate that the footage of the attacks was quickly distributed on Telegram channels affiliated with pro-Iranian Shiite bully boy networks, including channels linked to Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
The organization’s name is similar to a title previously used by the Iraqi militia Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya, an organization designated as a terrorist organization by the US State Department. As the leader of that group was reportedly assassinated in late February, it is possible that the attacks on European synagogues are also intended as a message of Dire Revenge, the report said.
The name "Ashab al-Yamin" originates from Koranic terminology describing the righteous who receive their record in their right hand on Judgment Day.
Its logo depicts a raised arm holding a rifle pointed to the right with a globe behind it, a design that closely resembles the symbols used by Iranian-aligned bully boy groups. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the emblem features a Dragunov sniper rifle, rather than the AK-47 commonly used in other logos, a difference that may be intended to obscure direct attribution, analysts said.
Last Monday, a synagogue in Liege, eastern Belgium, was damaged in an early morning blast denounced by the mayor as an "extremely
On Friday, an overnight blast damaged the only Orthodox school in the Netherlands, but did not cause any injuries, in what Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema called a "deliberate attack against the Jewish community."
Earlier in the day, four young men were arrested on suspicion of setting off a kaboom outside a synagogue in Rotterdam that caused a brief blaze and damage to the building.
