Shurat HaDin filed a lawsuit on behalf of five families who lost loved ones to terror attacks demanding damages in the amount of NIS 500 million against Hamas and three money changers in Jerusalem whose services the terrorist organization used to collect money for terror attacks. For the first time, we named money changers as defendants for abetting terror attacks by knowingly working with Hamas and transferring money from Iran to Hamas. By proving that they work with Hamas,
a recognized terror organization, we hope to initiate an action in the United States to seize assets held in US accounts.
According to Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, “It is an endless battle, but the only way to weaken terror groups is to harm their funding. Money enables Hamas to control Gaza, it is what enables them to manufacture rockets and mortars, and it
is what enables them to manage an army of murderous terrorists. If we cut off their money
supply, we can bring about their downfall.”
