ISIS says they were behind a stabbing that left three people dead in Germany.

Over the weekend, the city of Solingen was the site of a tragic event that has left the community in shock and mourning. The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for the knife attack that occurred at the 650th anniversary festival, which resulted in the death of three people and left eight others wounded.

According to reports, the extremist group claims that the attacker specifically targeted Christians as a way to avenge Muslims in Palestine and other parts of the world. However, there is currently no evidence to support this claim and authorities are still working to verify the IS's involvement.

After the attack, a suspect was detained by police and is being questioned about his involvement. Earlier reports had suggested that a 15-year-old boy was arrested, but it was later confirmed that he was not the attacker. Two female witnesses have also come forward, stating that they overheard the boy and another person discussing their intentions prior to the attack.

As the investigation continues, authorities are working tirelessly to gather clues and evidence. While they have not yet determined a motive, they have not ruled out the possibility of this being a terrorist act. The three victims, two men and a woman, were tragically killed in the attack and police believe that the attacker deliberately aimed for their throats.

The news of this attack has caused concern among security experts, with some warning that this could be the beginning of a new wave of terrorist attacks. Peter Neumann, a professor of security studies, believes that the IS is trying to use the recent terror offensive by Hamas as a way to inspire more attacks using simple methods like knives and cars.

In response to the attack, authorities have launched a manhunt and have urged the public to remain vigilant. They have also set up an online portal for witnesses to share any relevant information or footage. Meanwhile, churches in Solingen have opened their doors to offer support and comfort to the community.

German officials, including Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, have expressed their condolences to the victims and their families. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also promised that the perpetrator will be punished with the full force of the law.

As the community of Solingen comes to terms with this tragedy, the rest of the world is reminded that the threat of terrorism still exists. Despite losing control of their caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State continues to recruit and carry out attacks, causing devastation and loss of life.
