The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice seize more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency tied to Hamas and disrupt parts of a years-long fundraising network. Authorities say the seized crypto was intended to support Hamas, and the operation also yields information about individuals who contacted Hamas to try to donate.
According to reporting, the disruption includes taking control of digital infrastructure used by Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades, including websites and related online platforms. Outlets also describe coordination by federal authorities as part of a broader effort to interfere with fundraising and recruitment activity carried out through online channels.
While coverage focuses on the seizure amount and the targeted crypto donations, the Jerusalem Post additionally emphasizes the government’s control of Hamas domains and hosting or server assets connected to the group’s military wing. Other reports center more directly on the cryptocurrency seizure and its intended purpose.
