Israel IDs 3 Hamas members said to be funneling cash to terror group from Iran via Turkey
2025-12-08
[IsraelTimes] The IDF and Shin Bet identify three Hamas members who are said to be involved in smuggling money to the terror group from Turkey, under the directives of Iran.

According to the military and Shin Bet, Hamas operates a network of money changers made up of Gazans residing in Turkey, “exploiting the country’s financial infrastructure for terror purposes.”

“The Gazan money changers work in full cooperation with the Iranian regime and transfer hundreds of millions of dollars directly to the Hamas terror organization and its leadership,” says the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, in a post on X.

He says that the money changers “run extensive economic activity in the heart of Turkey, including receiving Iranian funds, storing them, and transferring them to Hamas.”

Adraee names three Palestinians from Gaza who are part of the network based in Turkey: Tamer Hassan, a senior official in Hamas’s finance ministry, who works directly under political bureau member Khalil al-Hayya, and money changers Khalil Farauna and Farid Abu Dayr.

“The Hamas terror organization, with support and encouragement from the Iranian regime, after having caused the destruction of the Gaza Strip, continues to pursue terror schemes against the State of Israel and attempts to rebuild its capabilities, including outside the territory of the Strip,” Adraee says.
