It is part of everyday life in Germany that police officers stand guard in front of Jewish institutions. After the terror alarm in a synagogue in Hagen, the Jewish community thanks the emergency services.
After the terror alarm in the Hagen synagogue, the Jewish community thanked the police.
“We would like to thank the many police officers who have stood by us in times of need, who continue to protect us and take many additional burdens as a matter of course,” wrote the community in Hagen. “We owe it to you that we can now look forward to the Feast of Tabernacles with confidence.”
The congregation had to cancel the service for the celebration of the highest Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, last week because of the terror warning. But you will not be intimidated, the community said. “We think it is wrong to make the exercise of our fundamental rights and our religion dependent on terrorists or would-be terrorists.”
Therefore, the Feast of Tabernacles will now be celebrated in close coordination with the security forces. “By the way, we will also use it to show the flag against terror and terrorist plans.” At the same time, the community thanked her for the numerous expressions of solidarity that she had received in the past few days.
A 16-year-old arrested for alleged plans to attack the Hagen synagogue is in custody. A judge had issued an arrest warrant against him. The Syrian is suspected of having prepared an Islamist terrorist attack.
According to security circles, he is said to have communicated with an IS terrorist via Telegram messenger service about the construction of bombs. He is said to have admitted this, but vehemently denied plans to attack the synagogue.
