A group that claimed responsibility for different antisemitic attacks in Europe said it has chosen more targets around the world, according to a new report.
Concretely, a member of Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia group told CBS News they will "keep threatening U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide until we've avenged every child in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and the resistance nations."
The person went on to "urge people to stay away from Zionist and American interests and individuals to keep themselves safe."
The group, whose name translates to "The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Righteous" announced its existence earlier this month. It said it was behind an attack in the U.K., in which a group of ambulances belonging to a Jewish medical organization were set ablaze, and the burning of a car in a Jewish neighborhood in Antwerp, Belgium.
Lucas Webber, a senior threat intelligence analyst at Tech Against Terrorism, told the outlet that the group "looks less like a grassroots European cell that came out of nowhere and more like an astroturfed terror brand that has appeared suddenly in online ecosystems, plugged into an existing Iran-aligned network and experimenting with low-cost, high-visibility operations in Europe."
Prior to the attacks against the ambulances, the group had claimed responsibility for three incidents in Belgium and the Netherlands. One involved the detonation of an improvised explosive device in front of a synagogue in Liege, Belgium. Soldiers have been deployed on the streets of Belgian cities to provide additional security after the attacks.
Elsewhere, Dutch police arrested five teenagers in connection to an explosion earlier this month at a synagogue in Rotterdam.
