After the terror alarm in front of a synagogue in Hagen, Germany on Wednesday evening, there were four arrests today.

According to information from the news magazine, the police searched the apartment of the youth and his father in the morning.

On September 15 and 16, Jews celebrate their highest holiday: Yom Kippur, the day of reconciliation. The shadow of terror spreads over this festival day in Hagen: On Wednesday evening, according to reports about a “possible risk situation,” a large-scale police operation in the German city, which had already become conspicuous by anti-Semitic activities in May.

Now there were arrests. The Hagen police said on Thursday morning on Twitter: “The criminal investigation led to the identification and arrest of a 16-year-old from Hagen. In the course of the investigation, a total of four arrests have taken place so far.” At the same time, the first search measures were taking place in objects in Hagen. “Possibly, further search measures will follow. The current investigations serve to corroborate or dispel a suspicion,” said the police.

According to the “Spiegel,” the security authorities had received a tip from a foreign secret service. The partner service had warned of a suspected Islamist in Germany who had behaved suspiciously on the Internet. The investigation led to the 16-year-old who lives in Hagen in an apartment with his father. The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Düsseldorf is investigating the suspicion of preparing a serious, state-endangering act of violence against the young person.
