Israeli officials estimate Hamas is getting $8 million to $12 million a month through online donations, much of it through organizations posing as charities to help civilians in Gaza.
That would equate to a multi-fold increase for online funding compared to what the group was receiving before its attack on Israel on Oct. 7, according to several officials at Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing. They all spoke to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of their work.
