The indictment, filed by the Munich public prosecutor, alleges that the 15-year-old resident of Augsburg developed a plan to attack a synagogue. Investigators claim he expressed admiration for the Islamic State (ISIS) and stored a large quantity of pyrotechnic materials at his home. According to the prosecution, in late October 2025 the teen tested a homemade explosive device the size of a tennis ball. The blast cost him two fingers and left a close friend with minor injuries. The case will be heard in the Augsburg juvenile court. The defense has rejected the prosecution's version of events, stating that the teen did not plan an attack. The case adds to a series of synagogue attack plots in Germany; in June, a 35-year-old man was sentenced to 8.5 years for planning a similar attack, as The Zioneer reported.
