Specialist police are investigating after an ultra-left group claimed responsibility for the burning of dozens of Amazon and Deutsche Telekom trucks in Berlin this week. The Berlin fire brigade deployed 100 firemen to tackle the blazes in the Lichtenberg and Britz neighborhoods early Tuesday morning, where large numbers of vehicles were destroyed.
The fires started simultaneously at the two locations, miles apart, and were already well-established when emergency services arrived. In total, 19 Amazon delivery vans and 17 Deutsche Telekom vans were destroyed. Five additional vehicles were damaged by flames at the Amazon compound, according to Tageschau. The attacks coincided with Amazon celebrating the opening of its new Berlin headquarters, the city’s tallest office tower.
A letter published on the Antifa-linked left-extremist platform Indymedia claimed responsibility for the incidents. The anonymous author alleged both Amazon and Deutsche Telekom are “legitimate targets” due to their connections with Israel and Germany‘s security services. The statement claimed, “Amazon’s servers and cloud services are used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to store the vast amounts of data obtained from mass surveillance of the Palestinian population.”
The letter also condemned Deutsche Telekom, asserting it supports “border authorities, police, and intelligence services” and criticized its collaboration with Elon Musk’s Starlink, which the group accused of aiding military operations in Ukraine and Israel. The group called for further attacks against infrastructure systems that allegedly sustain “fascism” and “imperialism.”
These attacks are part of an ongoing campaign by leftist extremists targeting critical infrastructure across Europe. Similar incidents have occurred in recent years, including sabotaging railway systems, power lines, and communication networks in Germany, France, and Italy.
