Israel Accuses Iran of Funding Hamas via Turkey
Israel says Iran is using people from Gaza who live in Turkey to move lots of money to a group called Hamas.
This money is used for bad things against Israel.
Israel's army and security agency found out about this and told everyone on a website called X. They said Iran is giving the money, and people in Turkey are helping to send it to Hamas.
Israel's leader in the United States also said this is bad and asked why Turkey, which is part of a group called NATO, is helping.
Israel accuses Iran of directing a Hamas financial network in Turkey.
Gazans living in Turkey are allegedly managing the network, receiving and transferring Iranian funds to Hamas.
The network exploits Turkey's financial system to move large sums to Hamas leaders and operatives.
Three key operatives of Gazan origin have been identified in the network.
Israel warns that Hamas continues to plan attacks against Israel despite the destruction in Gaza.
