Defense Minister Israel Katz issues sanctions against freed security prisoners and their family members who received payments from the Palestinian Authority during their time in prison.
According to Katz’s office, the order applies to citizens and residents of the State of Israel. Israeli forces raided a number of homes and seized property and cash amounting to hundreds of thousands of shekels under the sanctions, his office adds.
Katz says that the seized funds will be transferred to victims of terror and their families.
