Somalia | 21 soldiers killed following Al-Shabaab attack in Hawaadley, Middle Shabelle On December 20, 21 soldiers were reportedly killed following an Al-Shabaab attack in Hawaadley, Middle Shabelle.

Three suspected Islamist extremists have been arrested in Germany for allegedly planning a significant act of violence, targeting Christmas markets in Frankfurt or Mannheim. Authorities conducted coordinated raids on Sunday, seizing weapons, including an assault rifle, ammunition, knives, and other items, from the suspects’ homes. The suspects include two German-Lebanese brothers, aged 15 and 20, detained in Mannheim, and a 22-year-old German-Turkish man from the Hochtaunus district in Hessen state. Officials described the brothers as having strong religious ideologies and a profound alignment with the Islamic State (IS), which informed their concrete plans for an attack. Items seized from the raids, including weapons and mobile devices, indicate serious preparations, though officials assured that the public was not at any immediate risk. Germany has remained on high alert following the escalation of violence in the Middle East, particularly the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The arrests highlight ongoing concerns about Islamist threats, which have resulted in a series of violent incidents in recent years. In August, an alleged IS-inspired knife attack killed three and injured eight at a street festival in Solingen, and in June, a police officer was fatally stabbed in Mannheim. German authorities emphasized the importance of the timely arrests in preventing further violence. Hessen’s interior minister praised the law enforcement response while underscoring the heightened security risks facing the country. The broader context includes fears of a resurgence of IS-linked activities amidst the geopolitical turmoil in Syria and the ongoing vigilance against groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
