He was administratively arrested and ordered to leave Antwerp. The mobile home was seized but later returned. The police discovered a sword and potential Hamas references during the search, but details remain undisclosed. Almaani, who lives in Norway and has family in Gaza, has been traveling through Europe to raise awareness about the situation in Palestine. He claims he was unaware he was in a Jewish area.
