Permission to publish: In a
joint operation by the IDF and the GSS, the infrastructure of Hamas operatives, students at Bir Zeit University, was thwarted.
These met during their studies and kept in touch with senior Hamas officials based in Turkey to transfer funds through the Gaza Strip to Judea and Samaria using credit cards.
The infrastructure included five students, Hamas operatives and members of the Western Wall (Islamic political cell): Muhammad Magad 'Abd al-Magid Hassan, born in 1999, resident of Ramallah;
'Abd al-Rahman of Sabah Gudat Aloy, child 1999, resident of Deir Jarir;
Barkat Raed Barkat Malki, born in 1998, resident of the Jilzon refugee camp;
Yahya Zadek Samih Karot, born in 1999, resident of Akhtawa in Tulkarm and Hamza, Obi 'Abd al-Rakam Zalom, born in 2000, resident of Samir Amis, Israeli resident.
According to a senior IDF source, "The Hamas headquarters in Turkey and the Gaza Strip exploit students who come to study with the funding of their families and harm them.
The students involved in terrorist activities are arrested and do not finish their studies - thus harming their families as well. "
"University encourages dissemination of incitement content"
According to the source, "Joining the Western Wall means joining the Hamas organization. Bir Zeit University is home to the Hamas student cell in Judea and Samaria, and in fact under the guise of academic freedom, the university management allows the dissemination of incitement and incitement to terrorism, along with planning and recruiting terrorists within the university."
"The GSS and the IDF will continue to act to thwart this activity, including the transfer of terrorist funds."
The method of transferring the funds worked as follows: a source in the field submitted a request for funding for the Western Wall activity, the guidance bodies in Turkey approved the request and instructed the officials at the Hamas headquarters in the Gaza Strip to transfer the money to the field.
The funds were actually transferred by credit cards through couriers who entered Israel for medical treatment.
Sources in the area withdrew the money from ATMs throughout Ramallah and used it to finance Hamas' activities at the Western Wall.
Beyond that, some detainees admitted that they had agreed to carry out shooting attacks on settlers and IDF forces in the sector.
Several months ago, the involvement of a senior operative at the Western Wall, 'Abd al-Rahman Hamdan, was exposed in the transfer of a large sum of money to finance a Hamas cell that planned to carry out terrorist attacks.
