MADRID — Spanish police arrested seven suspected members of a jihadi cell linked to the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra militants during raids Sunday in the eastern provinces of Valencia and Alicante and in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta.

Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said the cell had sent arms, bomb-making materials, and electronic equipment to Syria and Iraq in shipments disguised as humanitarian aid.

In a statement, police said the cell was well-organized by a ringleader who ran a business that enabled him to ship containers with supplies and weapons from Spanish ports to the armed groups.

The cell is suspected of also supplying funds for Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra and of money laundering.

The ringleader was contacted on several occasions urging him to supply women for combatants in Syria and Iraq to marry, ‘‘following guidelines set down by the Islamic State group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,’’ the statement said.

In Germany on Sunday, police searched the homes of two men suspected of being part of an extremist organization. The raids took place near the western city of Mainz.

The men are ‘‘suspected of taking part in the Syrian civil war as members of a foreign terrorist organization,’’ prosecutors said. They did not say whether they were arrested.
