Israeli security forces, comprising the IDF and the Shin Bet, conducted operations in Ramallah and Yatta, arresting five individuals associated with two organizations operating under the guise of charities. According to Israeli authorities, these organizations, declared as illegal associations, served as financial and organizational arms for Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The forces raided the offices of the "Adameer" association in Ramallah, seizing computers, documents, and checkbooks bearing markings of designated Hamas funds. Israeli security stated that Adameer funded terrorism and provided legal aid to PFLP members imprisoned in Israel, with some employees allegedly involved in the 2019 killing of Rina Shnerb. In a separate operation in Yatta, forces raided the offices of the "Islamic Society for the Care of Orphans," also confiscating materials linked to designated Hamas funds. Authorities reported that the Yatta organization served as an organizational and financial arm for Hamas, transferring funds and supporting families of terrorists and prisoners. The head of the Yatta organization and other senior members are reportedly former Hamas operatives, and its civilian activities were allegedly used to bolster the group's standing in the town. The arrested individuals and seized materials were transferred for further investigation.
