According to a spokeswoman for the organization, Hamas wanted to \u201cliberate all Palestinian prisoners\u201d held by Israel. Tragically, over 2,300 people have been injured by Hamas forces, and almost 900 people have died as a consequence of the attack. Israel\u2019s increasing bombings on the Gaza Strip have resulted in over 560 fatalities and 2,900 injuries, according to Palestinian officials.<\/p>\n<p>This current crackdown on bitcoin activities linked to terrorism is not an isolated instance. Similar actions were taken by Israel in June 2023, when it seized cryptocurrency assets worth millions of dollars from accounts connected to Hezbollah and Iran. These monies were linked to the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah and Iran\u2019s military wing, the Quds Force, both of which have been aiding Hamas in its continuing struggle with Israel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
