Iran Reportedly Hiring Children To Carry Out Terror Attacks Against Jews In Europe

Officials in Europe are warning that Iran’s terrorist Islamic regime is hiring children to carry attacks against Israeli targets in Europe.

Bloomberg News reported that there have been numerous reported instances where Iran has hired children to conduct terrorist attacks against Israeli targets:

A 15-year-old boy gets into a taxi outside Stockholm hiding a loaded gun and asks to be taken to the Israeli embassy. A 13-year-old in Gothenburg is caught firing shots at Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems. At the same facility, a 16-year-old helps to plant home-made explosives outside the main entrance. … In Brussels in May, the security services found children as young as 14 orchestrating an attack on the Israeli embassy.

Iran seeks to have proxies recruit and hire the children because they want a level of plausible deniability.

The report said that Nordic nations in particular were especially vulnerable because “they have traditionally been open societies with minimal policing and high trust.”

One of the reasons that children in particular have been targeted is because the criminal penalties they face are minimal, often times amounting to little more than a slap on the wrist. In Sweden and Norway, they can’t even be prosecuted if they are under 15 years old, the report said.

Iranian-backed actors will pay the children as much as $1,500 for a murder or a couple hundred dollars for a “petrol bomb attack,” the report said.

The report said that sometimes the children do not even have an idea of what they are being recruited to do.

“There are cases where the proxies aren’t aware or don’t realize that they are acting on behalf of a foreign power,” the Swedish Security Service said in a statement earlier this year.

The warnings come as countries around Europe have been on a heightened state of alert over the last 14 months following Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack in Israel.

The terrorist attack sparked a surge in activity from Islamic terrorists throughout Europe, many of whom are furious that Israel would even dare respond with military force to Hamas murdering more than 1,200 people during the attack.
