Tamra resident indicted for transferring NIS 1.5 m. to PIJ under the guise of Gaza aid donations
A Tamra resident has been indicted for transferring over NIS 1.5 million to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, disguised as donations for Gaza’s children.
An indictment was filed on Friday against a Tamra resident for transferring over NIS 1.5 million to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which was disguised as “donations for Gaza’s children,” Israel Police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced.
Ahmad Diab, 36, has been involved in fundraising efforts since 2020, collecting funds for an organization called “Karban Tarik Al-Ahsan.”
When asking for donations, Diab shared footage appearing to show Gazan children receiving aid he claimed was purchased with the money he raised, which was later revealed to have been sent to him by a member of the PIJ.
Diab transferred funds to PIJ for nearly a year
The PIJ member, who was living in Khan Yunis, reached out to Diab in July 2024, requesting his help in raising funds for Gazan residents. Despite knowing he was speaking to a member of a terrorist organization, Diab responded to his request.
According to the indictment, Diab transferred a total of NIS 1.36 million and USD 42,200 through intermediaries in Ramallah from October 2024 until his arrest in June 2025.
