Israel PM office says suspects arrested in Denmark 'acted on behalf of Hamas'

Jerusalem, Undefined: Israel said Thursday that suspects arrested in Denmark were 'acting on behalf of the Hamas' militant group after Danish authorities said they foiled a 'terror' attack.

Danish security forces 'arrested seven terrorists acting on behalf of the Hamas terrorist organization, and thwarted an attack, the goal of which was to kill innocent civilians on European soil,' a statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.
