(Times of Israel) Mohammed Halabi, Gaza director of the international Christian charity World Vision, was sentenced on Tuesday by an Israeli court to 12 years in prison for diverting tens of millions of dollars to the Islamic terror group Hamas. The court said Halabi had joined the military wing of Hamas in 2004 and was "planted in World Vision" the following year. From his position, Halabi gave Hamas millions of dollars of World Vision's money to fund terror, as well as 12 tons of steel and other materials for its tunnels. His sentence was meant to deter Gazans working in international aid groups from aiding Hamas, according to the court.
