The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet intelligence agency have dismantled a network of front organizations used by terrorist groups in Judea and Samaria. The operations targeted entities operating under the guise of charitable foundations, with raids conducted in Ramallah and Yatta.
In Ramallah, security forces raided the offices of the "Addameer" association, which officially presented itself as a human rights and charitable organization. During the raid, computers, internal documents, and checkbooks showing funds linked to Hamas were seized. The Shin Bet stated that Addameer received funding from terrorist sources and provided legal support to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) operatives. Some employees were directly involved in the August 2019 terror attack at the Ein Bubin spring, which killed 17-year-old Israeli Rina Shnerb.
A second raid in Yatta, south of Hebron, targeted the "Islamic Association for the Care of Orphans." Military forces confiscated accounting and payment documents marked by banned Hamas funds. The association in Yatta served as Hamas's financial and logistical wing, transferring money to operatives and providing stipends to families of militants and prisoners.
Five activists working for Hamas and the PFLP were arrested during the operations. The arrested individuals and seized materials were taken for further investigation. Both organizations have been declared illegal in Israel, with intelligence indicating they provided the material base for preparing and supporting terror activities in Judea and Samaria. The security forces vowed to continue preemptive actions to thwart terror plots and neutralize threats to Israeli citizens.
