Netherlands probing if Rotterdam synagogue attack has Iran link after 4 arrested, minister says
[IsraelTimes] Diaspora Ministry said Sunday that new terror group, which claimed responsibility for spate of attacks across Netherlands and Belgium, is believed to have ties to Iranian networks

The Netherlands is investigating whether Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
was involved in the attack on a Rotterdam synagogue on Friday, Dutch Justice Minister David van Weel has said, adding that the suspects apprehended for the attack had most likely been recruited.

"The possibility that Iran is involved in this attack is... being explicitly investigated," Van Weel told parliament on Tuesday, though he did not cite a conclusive link between Iran and the attack ahead of the investigation’s conclusions.

Dutch prosecutors said on ​Monday that the ‌four men suspected of causing the Rotterdam synagogue explosion ​had done so ​with terrorist intent. The four, aged 17 to 19, ​were ​apprehended ⁠shortly after an arson ​attack caused ​a ⁠fire at the synagogue early ⁠on ​Friday.

In the past week, several attacks have taken place in the Netherlands, including one on a Jewish school in Amsterdam. There has also been an attack on a synagogue in Liege, in neighboring Belgium.

The attacks, which caused no injuries, were all claimed on social media platform X by an turban group known as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, though police are still investigating whether the group was actually behind them.

Van Weel previously said that ​a link between the earth-shattering kabooms in Amsterdam and ​Rotterdam ⁠could not be excluded, but did not confirm any claims made on social media.

The ​attacks have ​triggered heightened ⁠security at Jewish sites in the Netherlands.

Concerns about possible attacks against ⁠Jewish communities ​around the world have risen ​following US and Israeli attacks on Iran and the subsequent response from Tehran.

ISRAEL: NEW TERROR GROUP IS BELIEVED TO HAVE TIES TO IRAN
Van Weel’s comments came after the Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry, on Sunday, said the terror group that grabbed credit for the attacks is believed to be linked with Iranian terror networks.

The organization’s apparent ability to coordinate attacks in multiple countries in a short period of time indicates that the risk of further attacks remains significant, 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 Iran-aligned groups.

Additionally, intelligence analyses indicated that footage of the attacks in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
was quickly distributed on Telegram channels affiliated with pro-Iranian Shiite terror networks, including channels linked to Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the report said.

After synagogue attacks, Belgium sending soldiers to guard Jewish neighborhoods
The right answer would be to drive out unassimilated and murderous Moslems, but they can’t imagine doing the one thing needed to make Jews and non-Jews alike safe.
[IsraelTimes] Troops will be deployed at two dozen sites in the wake of explosions last week at Jewish institutions in Liège and the Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam

Belgium will begin deploying military troops to reinforce security at synagogues and Jewish schools in the wake of rising antisemitic threats, politicians said Monday.

The decision follows an explosives attack last week at a synagogue in Liège, in the eastern part of the country. A new terror group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, said to be targeting Jewish institutions in Europe, grabbed credit for that blast, which did not injure anyone.

The group, which is believed to be linked with Iranian terror networks, also said it caused explosions at Jewish institutions in Amsterdam and Rotterdam last week in the Netherlands.

Soldiers in Belgium will begin working alongside local police forces "as soon as possible," in coordination with the Federal Police, Defense Minister Theo Francken and Interior Minister Bernard Quintin said Monday.

The plan is believed to cover 20 synagogues around the country and four Jewish schools in Antwerp, local media reported. The city is home to most of Belgium’s 30,000 Jews. Estimates say that more than 50 soldiers will patrol with police for "as long as necessary."

The decision will help protect Belgium’s Jewish community and "support security on our streets," Francken said on X.

"Antisemitism and hatred against Jews will never be tolerated," he wrote. "We will stand firm against it, always."

Public officials, including Antwerp Mayor Els van Doesburg, began calling for greater protection after the Liège attack on March 9. The Coordination Committee of Jewish Organisations in Belgium (CCOJB) has also requested troops at Jewish sites.

In December, Quintin announced a plan to withdraw police security forces in Antwerp’s Jewish district starting in January, despite soaring antisemitism in the country and around the world. He later withdrew that plan after it sparked a public outcry.

Following this week’s announcement, Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden complained that the decision to deploy soldiers was made without parliamentary debate. Prime Minister Bart De Wever responded that the decision invoked a clause in the law that allows the federal police commissioner to request military support for specific missions.

A similar operation was initiated in 2015, when Operation Vigilant Guardian was launched to fight rising terrorist threats after the January 2015 Île-de-La Belle France attacks. That operation remained in place until 2021. # id) ?>
