Article in the Telegraph dated March 26th about them: The Iranian sleeper cell bringing terror to Europe
Until three weeks ago, few people had heard of Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia. There was no entry in any counter-terrorism database, no Telegram channel, no social media footprint and no history.
But on Monday, the group, which has links to Iran’s network of proxies, and whose name translates as “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right”, circulated footage of burning ambulances outside a synagogue in London, with its logo on Telegram.
It appears to be its latest strike.
Earlier this month, Israeli officials who work to tackle anti-Semitism around the world started to notice a potential new threat.
Over the course of six days, the ministry for diaspora affairs identified connections between separate attacks in Belgium, the Netherlands and Greece.
In a special report, seen by The Telegraph, the ministry charted the rise of what is Iran’s latest terrorist proxy in Europe.
After Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia claimed responsibility for the attacks, Israeli open source analysts started poring over their social media feeds.
The officials noticed the new group’s emblem featured a raised hand, holding a rifle pointing to the right, with a globe behind it.
The report states: “This design closely resembles the symbols used by Iranian-aligned militant groups such as: Hezbollah (Lebanon), Kataib Hezbollah (Iraq) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC] (Iran).”
