Following a German investigation, the Hamas terror cell, which was arrested in December, planned attacks against the Israeli embassy in Berlin and an American base in western Germany.
The cell's targets were revealed after one of the terrorists' mobile phone was examined: "He tried to locate a weapons cache in Europe, the connection with the Hamas military wing in Lebanon was more extensive than what was known until now."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday visited Lebanese territory occupied by the Israeli military, telling soldiers that Israel would not withdraw from the country's south as long as Iran-backed Hezbollah continued to pose a threat.
Iran said on Tuesday that it would not meet with top U.S. envoys who flew to the region following an outbreak of hostilities, clouding the prospects for a lasting peace between the two countries.
Some 400,000 Lebanese uprooted by war have returned to southern Lebanon, with more expected to follow in the coming week, a government minister said on Tuesday, encouraged by a lull in the four-month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
