Earlier that month, the Shin Bet also announced that it had uncovered an intricate money-laundering scheme run by Hamas, in which some $200,000 was illegally transferred to the terror group from Turkey.

Several of the arrests included some of the terror group’s senior officials based in the disputed territories.
