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 said on Sunday he had ordered troops to move further into Lebanon in the battle against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, despite a ceasefire announced more than six weeks ago.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has demanded an emergency UN Security Council meeting following Israel's seizure of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, calling it a "major fault" and accusing Israel of violating international law and ceasefire commitments.
Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Beaufort Castle, known in Arabic as Qal'at al-Shaqif, a strategically commanding hilltop fortress in the Shebaa Heights of southern Lebanon, according to reports emerging on Sunday.
