Five residents of Shuafat Refugee Camp in northern Jerusalem were arrested Monday on charges of money laundering and funding terrorism for Hamas.
Israeli police reported that during the arrests, officers confiscated tens of thousands of shekels in cash, equipment, and documents linked to the terror group. One of the suspects, identified as a prominent Hamas operative in the camp, is accused of orchestrating the financial operations. He allegedly funneled funds through his businesses, which included a chain of supermarkets in Shuafat and Anata.
In the operation, police seized over 200,000 shekels in cash, checks totaling a million shekels, mobile phones, Hamas-related documents, 3 DVRs, construction plans, computer hard drives, tablets, and bags of receipts linked to the suspect’s businesses, believed to be used for laundering money for Hamas.
