BERLIN — German prosecutors said Tuesday that a Lebanese-born man was arrested in Larnaca, Cyprus, in connection with an alleged effort to procure weapons for the militant group Hamas.

According to the Federal Public Prosecutor General of Germany, the suspect, identified as Kamel M., was detained Friday upon arrival from Lebanon under a European arrest warrant issued by the Federal Court of Justice of Germany. Authorities also searched the suspect’s residence in Berlin on Sunday.

Prosecutors allege the suspect is a member of Hamas and helped transfer about 300 rounds of live ammunition through intermediaries in August 2025. Authorities say the ammunition was intended to support preparations for attacks targeting Israeli or Jewish institutions in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

The suspect is expected to be transferred to Germany, where a judge will formally present the charges and decide whether he will remain in pretrial detention.
