Iran: Assault on Ewin Prison by Israel results in the death of 71 individuals
In a significant development, a Danish national of Afghan origin, identified as Ali S., was arrested in Aarhus, Denmark on June 27, 2025, on suspicion of spying for Iranian intelligence on Jewish people and sites in Berlin. The investigation, which is ongoing, suggests that Ali S. may have been gathering intelligence in preparation for potential further activities, possibly including terrorist attacks against Jewish targets.
Key details about the case include:
- Ali S. reportedly conducted surveillance on three properties in Berlin during June 2025. - He traveled to Istanbul on June 11 to meet with Iranian handlers and returned to Denmark on June 23 before his arrest. - The information leading to the arrest came from Germany's domestic intelligence service, with assistance from Israeli Mossad and Danish police. - Ali S. is set to be extradited to Germany, where he will face a judge to determine custody pending formal charges.
Germany's government strongly condemned the suspected espionage, emphasizing the protection of Jewish life as a top priority. German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig called the operation "outrageous," and the German Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador in Berlin to protest the incident and demand a thorough investigation. The Iranian embassy denied involvement in the alleged plot.
This incident occurred amid heightened tensions following a recent conflict between Israel and Iran, leading German authorities to increase protection for Jewish and Israeli sites. Germany's relations with Iran have been strained, especially after Germany closed all Iranian consulates in the country last year in response to the execution of an Iranian-German prisoner.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident, a man in Mellrichstadt, Germany, stabbed a colleague, resulting in the death of a 59-year-old woman. The suspect will be committed to psychiatric care. In Upper Franconia, a motorcyclist died in a traffic accident caused by a car driver failing to notice the motorcyclist while turning. No specific location was provided for the accident.
Elsewhere in Germany, three juveniles in NOC Weiden are identified as repeat offenders for throwing eggs at passersby. Two of them face charges for dangerous bodily harm.
