IDF raids West Bank charities linked to Hamas, PFLP, arresting five, seizing terror funds
Five terrorist collaborators were arrested in the West Bank operations, while evidence, including computers, documents, and checkbooks bearing markers associated with Hamas was seized.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet conducted a joint raid on two charities in the West Bank on Tuesday, targeting organizations linked to Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The Addameer Charity Association in Ramallah and the Islamic Association for the Care of Orphans in Yatta were raided.
Five individuals suspected of collaborating with terrorist organizations were arrested, and evidence including computers, documents, and checkbooks connected to Hamas were seized. The Addameer Charity Association, funded by terror funds, provided legal assistance to PFLP terrorists in detention. During the raid in Yatta, wanted individuals were arrested, and Hamas funds were seized, transferring them to security forces for further investigation.
The organization served as a hub and financial arm of Hamas, transferring funds to the terrorist group and family members of Hamas terrorists. The IDF chief of staff, Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, emphasized the need for continued vigilance and swift action against threats, deploying the 98th Division to the West Bank to strengthen security and stability.
