Police in the western German city of Duisburg, on Tuesday (Oct 24) said that they had arrested a man who was allegedly planning a terror attack. According to German media reports, the man was suspected of planning an attack on a pro-Israeli demonstration.&nbsp;

<h2>What did the police say?</h2>

According to the police, the man was arrested from his home in Duisburg after they received “indications of a possible attack scenario”. However, whether the man was preparing an attack “is under investigation,” said the local police in a statement.&nbsp;

The apartment of the person “who was already known to the police”&nbsp;in the city's Dellviertel neighbourhood&nbsp;was also searched&nbsp;and he was taken into custody, said the police.

<h2>German media reports on the incident</h2>

The man, who was identified by the German media reports as 29-year-old Tarik S, had previously been sentenced to five years imprisonment for his membership of the Islamic State. According to several media reports, he was a German-Egyptian national who allegedly planned to attack a pro-Israel demonstration.&nbsp;

German magazine Der Spiegel weekly and newspaper Bild reported that police had received a tip-off from the country’s foreign intelligence service. The alert was deemed serious enough that the 29-year-old was reportedly arrested under the country’s Risk Prevention Act.&nbsp;

The man had, among other things, searched the internet for pro-Israeli demonstrations and consulted jihadist content, fuelling fears that he wanted to plan an attack, according to the reports.&nbsp;

It was not immediately clear if the suspect had planned on targeting a specific demonstration. As of Tuesday evening, the Duisburg police said that they could not confirm the identity of the suspect in custody.&nbsp;

According to Der Spiegel, Tarik S&nbsp;travelled to Syria via Turkey at the end of 2013, where he joined the Islamic State group and was arrested at Frankfurt airport upon his return three years later.&nbsp;

Germany arrests man on suspicion of planning an attack on ‘pro-Israel demonstration’: Reports

US readies plans for mass evacuations if Gaza war escalates

With an upsurge in violence across the West Bank, the Biden administration has reportedly begun readying plans for mass evacuations of hundreds of thousands of American citizens from the Middle East.

As per a report by the Washington Post, four officials familiar with the US government’s contingency planning said that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas has stoked fears of broader escalation.

The officials stated that the Americans living in Israel and neighbouring Lebanon were of distinct concern, further underlining that the mass evacuation was a 'worst-case scenario' and that the government is churning out possible solutions to the problem that are seen as more likely.

However, one of the officials said, it “would be irresponsible not to have a plan for everything.”

The Israeli defence forces, which have been backed by US military aid, have been prepping for the much-anticipated ground offensive against Hamas militants who took the world by surprise after they carried out an unprecedented attack against Israel from Gaza on Oct 7.

<h2>Complicated logistics&nbsp;</h2>

The officials said that even though the United States was fully backing its staunch ally Israel, it was deeply alarmed by the likelihood of an escalation.&nbsp;

They further said that in recent days, having to abruptly relocate a large number of people has made the US ponder over the process' complicated logistics.

According to State Department estimates, there were approximately 600,000 US citizens in Israel and another 86,000 in Lebanon when Hamas attacked.

<h2>Lebanon, a major concern</h2>

The report said that Washington's major concern, Lebanon, was mainly due to the presence of Hezbollah, a militant group and political party that has exercised control in the country since 1992.

The terror group has long accepted training and weapons from Iran, raising concerns that it could launch an offensive against Israel from the north, resulting in a two-front war that could stretch Israeli forces. &nbsp;

“This has become a real issue,” the Washington Post quoted one official as saying. “The administration is very, very, very worried that this thing is going to get out of hand.”

The report said that the Biden administration was also concerned about the demonstrations being held across the Arab world that, as per the top officials, have put the US personnel and citizens at the highest risk.
