U.S. Exposes and Disrupts Hamas's Covert Support Network
(U.S. Treasury Department) On Wednesday, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned six Gaza-based organizations that claim to provide medical care to Palestinian civilians but in fact support the military wing of Hamas, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades. OFAC is also targeting the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, an organization that is clandestinely controlled by Hamas and has been a key backer of several so-called flotillas attempting to access Gaza. These groups hide their affiliation to Hamas in order to raise funds from overseas donors, many of whom are unwitting, and thereby divert donations intended for the Palestinian people to enable Hamas's terrorism. Information exposing the six Gaza-based organizations that support Hamas's military wing was revealed by documentary evidence taken from Hamas offices after Oct. 7, 2023.
