Shurat HaDin’s win sets a precedent, to be sure, but what odds the Israeli government will actually pry the money out of Hamas coffers? [IsraelTimes] Legal group that filed suit for relatives of Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-ad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach slams the sum as insufficient: ’This is not how to deter a terror organization’.
An Israeli court on Monday ordered Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", to pay millions in compensation to the families of three teenagers who were kidnapped and murdered by members of the Paleostinian terror group in 2014.

-ruling Hamas and Hussam Qawasmeh, the convicted criminal mastermind the abduction and killings, to pay NIS 38 million ($11.8 million) to the families of Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach.
Fraenkel, 16, Shaar, 16, and Yifrach, 19, were kidnapped by Hamas snuffies on the night of June 12, 2014, at a hitchhiking post in the West Bank south of Jerusalem.
Their bodies were discovered June 30, in Halhul, near Hebron, after an 18-day search, and it emerged that they had been murdered hours after the kidnapping.
Tensions were further ratcheted up following the subsequent murder of Paleostinian teenager Muhammed Abu Kdheir by Jewish murderous Moslems in an apparent Dire Revenge attack. The events were a major catalyst of the 50-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that started on July 8.
"The fact that the youths were murdered around the time of the kidnapping and the murderers concealed the youths’ tragic fate shows their cruelty was also aimed directly at the relatives, who remained uncertain during this period" of their children’s fates, Judge Ilan Sela wrote in the ruling.
The families had sought over half a billion shekels in compensation. Shurat HaDin, which filed the suit last year on their behalf, slammed the NIS 38 million awarded by the court as insufficient and vowed to appeal.
"This is not how to deter a terror organization that has a budget of a billion dollars and continues to murder Jews and fire toward Israeli citizens," the legal group said in response, referring to rocket fire from Gaza at civilians in southern Israel.
When the lawsuit was filed, the families said the case was aimed at preventing the Paleostinian Authority, which administers the West Bank, from transferring cash to Hamas.
The suit cited a study conducted for the families’ legal team by a former high-ranking official with COGAT — the Defense Ministry unit on charge of liaising with the Paleostinians — asserting the Paleostinian Authority transfers between $50 million and $100 million per month to Hamas. There is no official figure on the amount of money transferred by the PA to Hamas and it remains unclear how this has been affected by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

pandemic.
"This is a precedent-setting lawsuit. For the first time funds from the Paleostinian Authority will be confiscated for a terrorist attack carried out by Hamas. If the Paleostinian Authority refuses to honor the foreclosure order, and continues to fund Hamas despite the order, we will demand the amount of compensation from the tax money that the State of Israel transfers to the Paleostinian Authority," attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat Hadin said at the time.
In 2019, tax revenues transferred to the Paleostinian Authority by Israel accounted for approximately 60 percent of the Paleostinian budget.
