    <p>The Islamic group has claimed responsibility for what happened on the evening of August 23, when a man fatally stabbed three people during the celebrations for the 650th anniversary of the German city. A 26-year-old Syrian, who turned himself in to the police that night, confessed to being the author of the attack. He is not the man previously arrested at the asylum seeker center.</p>

    <p>A 26-year-old man originally from Syria has confessed to being the author of the knife attack on Friday night in Solingen, which resulted in the death of three people and injured eight others during the celebrations for the 650th anniversary of the city's founding. The man turned himself in to the police late at night, just over 24 hours after the attack. The attack had already been claimed by ISIS: "The attacker against the Christian assembly was a soldier of the Islamic State: it is a vengeance for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere," is the message disseminated in a statement on Amaq, the news channel of the terrorist organization. Meanwhile, investigations continue.</p>

            <p>In the evening, around 8 PM, German special police forces raided the refugee reception center in the city center. There, they reported, a person had been arrested but was later released as they were not involved in the attack. Shortly after this arrest by the police, in fact, a 26-year-old Syrian turned himself in to the police, confessing to being the perpetrator. Under the rain and still covered in blood, the man approached the officers shortly after 11 PM saying: "I am the one you are looking for." Referring to the man taken from the refugee center, North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul stated: he was not the one "we had in our sights from the beginning". "The attacker must be punished with the utmost severity," wrote Chancellor Olaf Scholz on X. The victims of the attack are two men, aged 67 and 56, and a 56-year-old woman.</p>

            <h2>The police raid at the refugee center</h2>

            <p>The raid at the refugee center, later revealed to be a false lead, was carried out by German police officers from the Special Operations Command (SEK). The accommodation for asylum seekers is located just 300 meters from Fronhof, the site of the attack. And, writes <em>Bild</em>, 150 meters from the spot where investigators found in the afternoon the weapon that would have been used by the killer on Friday night: it was a police dog that led the investigators directly from the site where the knife was found to the residence for asylum seekers at Wupperstrasse / Goerdelerstrasse.</p>
<h2>A 15-year-old arrested</h2>
<p>As part of the investigation, a 15-year-old boy was arrested at his parents' house at dawn today. Authorities clarified that he is not the killer, but they are checking if he might be connected to the case: two women reported to the authorities that they overheard a conversation where he – already involved in another crime – and a second person discussed the attack. It is therefore suspected that he was aware of the plan prior to last night and did not report it to the authorities. </p>

            <h2>Attacks in Germany increase<br/></h2>

            <p>The events that took place in Solingen, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, have opened a broader debate in Germany, where a worrying increase in knife attacks was the subject of a report by the Ministry of the Interior, released and discussed just a few days ago. Social Democrat Faeser also announced a tightening of regulations, prohibiting carrying knives longer than 6 cm (instead of the previously allowed 12).</p>

            <h2>The reactions</h2>

            <p>"The responsible must answer for it before justice. We must stand together against hate and violence," said Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier. He also spoke on the phone with the mayor of Solingen: "The terrible act in Solingen shocks me and shocks our country." Messages of closeness also come from EU institutions: "I am deeply shocked by the brutal and insidious attack in Solingen. My thoughts are with the families of the dead and injured, to whom I wish a speedy recovery. We must clarify the background of this crime as soon as possible," wrote European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on X. "I am deeply shocked by this terrible attack on innocent citizens during the State Celebration of Solingen. Hate and violence must have no place in our society. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. I wish the injured a speedy recovery," wrote European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.</p>
