Louisiana man arrested for allegedly participating in Hamas Oct. 7 terrorist attack

The Justice Department announced on Friday that a “Gazan native” living in Louisiana was arrested in connection with Hamas’s 2023 attack on Israel. 

Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub Al Muhtadi, 33, was detained on Thursday for his alleged involvement in the terrorist group’s assault on an Israeli music festival two years ago. Roughly 1,200 civilians, including 49 U.S. citizens, were murdered in the massacre, which triggered Israel’s war in Gaza.
