ILThe U.S. Department of Justice, through the FBI, has confiscated $560,000 in cryptocurrency and taken control of domains and servers used by Hamas for fundraising and recruitment, according to an announcement. The operation, authorized by a court, targets Hamas' financial infrastructure, including its military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades. The FBI's Albuquerque Field Office worked with human sources to identify and seize these assets. Officials emphasized that the action disrupts Hamas’ ability to fund terrorist activities and recruit supporters online, particularly referencing the October 7, 2023 attack. The FBI stated it will continue efforts to intercept illicit funds and prevent terrorist groups from using digital networks for financing.
