This is the best summary I could come up with:

Two boys aged 15 and 16 have been arrested by German authorities on suspicion of planning a militant Islamist attack on a Christmas market or a synagogue.

Mr Reul said a specific Christmas market had been agreed by the pair as a target and public broadcaster WDR reported that Friday 1 December had been decided as the date.

The alleged plot on a Christmas market brought back memories of the December 2016 attack in Berlin, when a jihadist hijacked a lorry and drove it into a crowd on Breitscheidplatz, causing the deaths of 13 people.

The arrests emerged as German domestic intelligence chief Thomas Haldenwang warned that the risk of Islamist militant attacks was “real and higher than it has been for a long time” because of the Israel-Hamas war.

Mr Haldenwang, who is head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), cited a variety of groups spreading hatred, incitement and antisemitism, adding that he had repeatedly stressed than an attack could happen in Germany any day.

However, Mr Haldenwang said it was jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and so-called Islamic State that were exploiting the situation to convey a victim narrative to Muslims in the West.
