The spokesperson of the Israeli Army and the spokesperson of the Shin Bet announced in a joint statement that, in two targeted operations against “illegal charitable organizations” in Ramallah and Yatta—used as offices of terrorist organizations—they arrested five activists who cooperated with Hamas and the Popular Front.

According to this statement, security forces early this week raided the offices of the “Adameer” charity association in Ramallah and the offices of the “Islamic Association for Support of Orphans” in the city of Yatta, in the Yehuda Brigade.

According to the Israeli Army, these associations, which were declared as unauthorized entities, were funded through terrorist sources and operated as organizational and financial arms of terrorist organizations, supporting and advancing terrorist activities across Yehuda and Shomron.
