An indictment was filed today (Thursday) against six Arab-Israeli citizens who transferred millions of shekels from Turkey to destinations in Judea and Samaria.
During the investigation, conducted by the police and the Shin Bet, several Israeli Arabs were arrested, who are suspected of having served as key figures in the mediation, transfer, and flow of funds originating from the Hamas terrorist organization for terrorist activities against the State of Israel.
The investigation revealed that this was a branched infrastructure that attempted to bring cash into Judea and Samaria on several occasions during the end of 2024.
According to the indictment, Fadi Arabi, 33, a resident of Araba in the Galilee, founded a terrorist financial conduit with his brother Nissim Arabi, who lives in Turkey, and worked in collaboration with Wajidi Saadi, 41, of Jeninian origin, a resident of Turkey, who serves as a significant conduit for transfers of funds from terrorist organizations.
Later, William and Sami Hanna, father and son residents of Nof HaGalil, who served as couriers, were recruited for this activity. When the system was changed, they were joined by Muhammad Tzitz, a 41-year-old resident of Acre, and Adham Dolani, also a 30-year-old resident of Acre.
The investigation shows that they were well aware of the source of the funds and their destination – financing terrorism in Judea and Samaria.
Towards the end of the period, Fadi Arabi turned to Suhail Bashir, a resident of Sakhnin, who was also recruited to help continue the transfer of funds.
The indictment, filed by the Cyber Department of the State Attorney's Office, charges the six suspects with serious offenses of contact with a foreign agent and dealing in terrorist property, each according to their share in the infrastructure.
A security source said: "This is a unique case that, through a combined effort by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police, led to the broad exposure of a financial infrastructure based on Israeli Arabs, which operated for Hamas elements in Turkey and served as an "oxygen pipeline" and a significant funding route for terrorist infrastructures in Judea and Samaria.".
