  • Israeli forces arrested five suspects linked to Hamas and PFLP fronts operating as charities in the West Bank.
  • The operations targeted organizations in Ramallah and Yatta, confiscating computers and financial documents.
  • One targeted group, Adameer, allegedly aided PFLP terrorists and had members involved in a 2019 attack.
  • Another group, the Islamic Society for the Care of Orphans, is accused of transferring funds to Hamas.
  • Security forces declared the targeted organizations illegal and pledged to continue disrupting terror infrastructure.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency recently concluded a series of operations in the West Bank targeting "charity organizations" identified as fronts for the Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist groups. The joint effort resulted in the arrest of five wanted individuals in Ramallah and the town of Yatta, with authorities confiscating computers, documents, and checkbooks linked to funding hostile activities.

Earlier this week, forces raided the offices of the "Adameer Association" in Ramallah. Security officials allege that Adameer is funded by terror money and provides legal aid to PFLP terrorists imprisoned in Israel. Some Adameer employees were reportedly involved in the August 2019 Ma'ayanot Dani attack, which claimed the life of Rena Shnerb.

In a separate operation over recent weeks, guided by the Shin Bet, IDF forces raided the offices of the "Islamic Society for the Care of Orphans" in Yatta, in the Judea region. This organization, declared an illegal association, allegedly serves as a financial conduit for Hamas, transferring funds and supporting the families of terrorists and prisoners. The society's director and other senior figures are reportedly Hamas operatives who have previously served prison sentences, using their civilian guise to bolster the terrorist organization's presence.

The IDF and Shin Bet stated that the targeted organizations have been declared illegal. Security forces emphasized their ongoing commitment to proactively disrupting terror infrastructure in the West Bank and prosecuting those who act against Israeli civilians.
