It is cleared to report that Hamas funds intended for terrorists in PA (Palestinian Authority) autonomous areas in Yehuda and Shomron were intercepted by the ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) last month.
On May 26, 2015 the ISA foiled a major monetary transfer from Gaza to PA areas. A 33-year-old Gaza man is in custody and he is accused of using different means in recent years to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hamas in Gaza to PA areas. A senior Hamas terrorist, Hassin Abu Kuyak, who is imprisoned in Israel, played a major role in the operation as did a number of money changers since regulations prohibit passing Hamas funds though the banking system.
Indictments have been filed in the Beersheva District Court.
