The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) uncovered details of an Iranian-directed Hamas network based in Turkey that has been working to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to the terror group's leaders and terror operatives, IDF Arabic spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee announced on X/Twitter on Sunday.
Adraee shared documents belonging to the terror group that showed that it ran a network of money changers made up of Gazans living in Turkey in order to exploit Turkish financial infrastructure for terrorist activities.
The money changers work in full cooperation with Tehran and manage wide-scale economic activity in Turkey, including receiving funds from Iran, storing them, and transferring them to Hamas, he added.
Hamas, with the support of Iran, continues to "push forward terrorist plots against Israel and is trying to rebuild its capabilities, including outside of the Gaza Strip," Adraee commented.
The IDF and Shin Bet warned that there would be consequences for establishing any ties or dealings with this exchange network, or any economic arms of Hamas, Adraee affirmed.
Israel's ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, reacted to the announcement, saying that "The Iranian regime continues to be nose-deep in terrorism and corruption."
