6 Arab Israelis charged with funneling money from Turkey to West Bank terror groups

State prosecutors filed an indictment against six Arab Israelis earlier today on suspicion they helped transfer funds from Turkey to terror groups in the West Bank.

Police and Shin Bet agents arrested the suspects over the course of the past month, and the six were indicted on charges of contact with a foreign agent and using terrorist assets.

A statement from spokespeople for the agencies claims suspects funneled millions of shekels from Turkey to terror groups in West Bank, including Hamas.

Police suspect that 33-year-old Arraba resident Fadi Arabi recruited the five others into the elaborate funding scheme, which initially began between him and his brother, Nassim Arabi, who resides in Turkey.
