In a bold daylight raid, IDF and Border Police forces stormed a central Ramallah currency exchange tied to Hamas, arresting five suspects and seizing hundreds of thousands of shekels in terror funds.
Israeli forces struck a major financial artery of Hamas on Tuesday, raiding a bustling currency exchange in the center of Ramallah that funneled money to terror cells.
Acting on precise intelligence from the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), IDF troops and Border Police units launched a high-stakes operation, storming the exchange and detaining five individuals suspected of terrorist activity.
Inside the money-changing hub, security forces uncovered and seized hundreds of thousands of shekels earmarked for financing Hamas’s terror operations against Israel and its citizens.
Military officials emphasized that this mission is part of a broader campaign to dismantle Hamas’s financial infrastructure across Judea and Samaria.
“This action joins our ongoing efforts to choke off the financial pipelines of terrorist groups, crippling their ability to plan and execute attacks on the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement.
The dramatic raid in the Palestinian Authority’s de facto capital underscores Israel’s relentless drive to cut Hamas off from its money lifelines—striking at the terror group not just on the battlefield, but at its financial core.
