IS calls on “lone wolves’ to carry out attacks on Christians and Jews in Europe and the USA. According to the federal government, the terrorist threat in Germany is currently “acute”.

Since the beginning of the Gaza war in October, there has been a huge "mobilization of Islamists, of jihadists all over Western Europe," says terrorism expert Peter Neumann. In addition to the danger posed by IS, i.e. the Islamic State of Afghanistan, there is now also the IS offshoot of the ISPK in Germany.
