The National Police have arrested four minors in Elche in an operation against jihadist terrorism, as reported by 'El Confidencial'. The arrests took place on December 19. Among the potential targets was the Basilica of Santa María in Elche, as investigators found a drawing of a dome very similar to the Illicitano temple. The fact that 2025 is a Jubilee Year leads agents to believe it might be this church.

Officers from the National Police Information Unit, dispatched from Madrid, carried out the arrests by order of the National Court. The proximity of the Christmas holidays is said to have accelerated the operation, according to the same newspaper. The arrested individuals are residents of Elche, although they were born in Morocco.

After the necessary procedures, the minors have been transferred by the National Police to the National Court for their statement.
