Germany has sent a special forces team (KSK) to Cyprus and will be in a state of readiness, according to German news network RND
Its mission will be to evacuate German citizens and diplomatic staff in the event of an escalation of the crisis in the Middle East – where commercial flights will be disrupted.
The same team is an expert in freeing hostages.
About a hundred thousand Israelis live in Israel with German passports, while Hamas, according to data so far, is holding eight German hostages.
For any action, however, the special forces team must first receive the green light from a committee of the German Parliament.
