Israeli security forces, comprising the IDF and Shin Bet, have uncovered a network of terrorist organizations operating under the guise of charitable organizations in the West Bank. Two targeted operations in Ramallah and Yatta led to the arrest of five individuals collaborating with Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
According to Israeli security, these "charities" served as organizational and financial arms for the terror groups, exploiting civilian activities. In Ramallah, security forces raided the offices of the "Adameer" Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, confiscating computers, documents, and checkbooks bearing markings of designated Hamas funds. The IDF and Shin Bet stated that Adameer is funded by terror money and provides legal aid to PFLP terrorists imprisoned in Israel.
A significant revelation links Adameer to the August 2019 bombing at the Dani Spring, where Rina Shnerb was murdered. Security officials indicated that some Adameer employees were involved in the deadly attack.
In a separate operation in Yatta, near Hebron, forces raided the "Islamic Society for the Care of Orphans," also declared an illegal association. Here too, suspects were arrested and items linked to Hamas funds were seized. This organization, according to Israeli security, acted as a financial and organizational arm for Hamas, transferring funds to the terror group and supporting the families of terrorists and prisoners. The society's director and other senior members are identified as Hamas operatives who have previously served prison sentences.
Both organizations are accused of leveraging their apparent civilian activities to bolster the standing and advance the operations of terror groups in the West Bank. The arrested individuals and seized materials are under further investigation, and security forces vowed to continue targeting terror infrastructure, including those operating under civilian pretenses.
