The Defense Ministry and IDF say they have seized a total of NIS 29 million ($7.6 million) in cash in the Gaza Strip, and “forfeited” it to the state.
The cash was seized from Hamas strongholds and homes of terror operatives, during the IDF’s ground operations in Gaza, the ministry says.
Today, NIS 12 million ($3.2 million) was deposited at the Bank of Israel, adding to another NIS 17 million ($3.5 million) seized and forfeited since the beginning of the war.
The ministry says there are additional sums of cash, which are still undergoing a “deposit process.”
Earlier this year, the IDF said it had captured NIS 20 million ($5.3 million) in cash in a Hamas tunnel.
