Family allegedly helped the Hamas-linked man move crypto-funded cash and weapons to Judea and Samaria for planned terrorist attacks.
(Nov. 27, 2025 / JNS) Several Israeli Arabs, including one based in Turkey, tried to supply arms and funds to terrorists in Judea and Samaria, the Israel Security Agency, or Shin Bet, said on Thursday.
The Shin Bet and police have in recent weeks arrested several Arab Israelis from Rahat and Kafr Qasim who are to be indicted for allegedly running a smuggling operation for Ahmed Tsartsur, an Israeli citizen from Kafr Qasim who lives in Turkey and is allegedly affiliated with Hamas, according to the statement.
The funds, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of shekels, may have been intended for terrorist attacks, the Shin Bet said. Tsartsur “used his family connections and friendships to establish a network for transferring arms and funds to Judea and Samaria,” according to the agency.
