In a daring joint operation by the Israel Police in the Judea and Samaria District and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), a major terror funding case was uncovered, leading to the arrest of two Nablus residents recieving terror funds from the Hamas terrorist organization through bank transfers.
Executed by the district’s central investigative unit (Yamar) together with the Shin Bet, the investigation revealed that the two devious suspects had contacted Hamas operatives abroad to obtain funds for financing terror activities in Judea and Samaria.
$35,200 and 33,000 ILS Seized During the Operation
The arrest and subsequent investigation exposed the scale of the financial transfers. While searching the suspects’ location, funds totaling $35,200 and 33,000 ILS in cash were seized.
After a complex investigation yesterday (Sunday), a prosecutor’s statement was submitted against the two suspects for offenses including contact with the enemy, introduction of enemy funds, membership and activity in a hostile organization, and providing it with services.
“We’ll Keep Thwarting All Attempts to Harm Israel’s Security”
The police and Shin Bet emphasized their continued determination in combating terrorist elements working to finance and execute terror operations. “We will continue to thwart every attempt to transfer terror funds intended to harm the security of the State of Israel and its residents,” said a police statement.
The arrest of the suspects and the submission of the prosecutor’s statement mark a significant step in the security forces’ struggle to prevent the flow of terror funds into Judea and Samaria, ensuring that such funds cannot be exploited to carry out terror attacks against Israeli citizens.
