Morning deployment in the city of Barcelona
On Tuesday, the Civil Guard has started an anti -terrorist operation in Barcelona early in the morning. At five o’clock, agents of a special team burst into a house located on Valencia Street, where they have proceeded to the arrest of three individuals.
Investigation under summary secret
So far, authorities have not shared detailed information on the operation, which remains under summary secret. However, the Civil Guard has confirmed that the main purpose is to deepen an investigation related to the Hezbollah terrorist group and its logistics in the city.
Background of Operation
Sources close to the operation have revealed that this search is part of a broader investigation that began with the intervention of a flat in the summer of 2024. On that occasion, a man was arrested, while a couple residing in the same home was released. Today, agents have returned to this home, making two new arrests.
The impact of July 2024
Last summer, the three detainees, with connections with Lebanon, were accused of contributing to Hezbollah’s operations, including the purchase of kamikaza drone manufacturing material. The Civil Guard warned that the investigation would continue to identify the role these individuals played in the chain of military supply.
The panorama of security in Catalonia
In recent months they have witnessed a significant increase in police operations against terrorism in Catalonia. The collaboration between the Civil Guard, the Mossos d’Esquadra and the National Police have given rise to numerous arrests related to radicalization and terrorist activities. Members of a Pakistani terrorist group have recently been arrested in the region.
Recent cases that mark tendency
In addition, last week it was known that Said, a jihadist Tiktoker of Terrassa, has reached an agreement with the prosecutor’s office, which will allow him to fulfill a sentence of only two and a half years in prison, an example of how justice is treating these cases in the current context.
Reflections on the future of security
The current situation raises questions about the effectiveness of security strategies in Catalonia. With an increase in arrests and operations, the effort to combat terrorism and radicalization is still a priority, but it remains to see how these actions will influence long -term security.
