The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency have concluded two operations targeting charity organizations in Ramallah and Yatta, which they state served as economic and organizational infrastructure for Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Five activists were arrested and documents and computers were confiscated during the raids.
According to a joint statement, the organizations, declared as illegal associations, exploited civilian activities to advance the terror groups' agendas. In Ramallah, forces raided the offices of the charity "Adameer," which the security establishment claims is funded by terror money and provides legal aid to imprisoned PFLP terrorists. The IDF and Shin Bet noted that some "Adameer" activists were involved in the August 23, 2019, attack at the Ein Bubin spring where Rena Shnerb was murdered.
During the Ramallah raid, wanted individuals were arrested and computers, documents, and checkbooks bearing markings of declared Hamas funds were seized. In a separate operation in Yatta, near the city of Hebron, forces raided the offices of the "Islamic Society for the Care of Orphans." The security establishment alleges this organization served as an organizational and financial arm of Hamas, transferring funds to the terror group and supporting the families of terrorists and prisoners.
The head of the Yatta organization and other senior members are reportedly former Hamas operatives. During this raid, wanted individuals were arrested and evidence linked to declared Hamas funds was confiscated. The arrested individuals and seized materials have been transferred for further investigation.
The IDF and Shin Bet emphasized their continued commitment to dismantling terror infrastructure operating under the guise of civilian organizations in the West Bank and prosecuting those involved in terror activities against Israeli civilians and security forces.
