The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect.

-ruling terror group has for years appealed for cryptocurrency donations, despite crackdown by Israeli and American authorities

The military wing of the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group on Thursday announced it would stop raising funds using the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, citing intensifying "hostile" activity against donors.

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades has for several years appealed for donations from supporters via Bitcoin to help counter its financial woes.

Cryptocurrency ostensibly provides a high level of anonymity, making them particularly attractive for financing criminal activity or terrorism. Bitcoin has faced criticism over underground websites where people have used the currency to buy drugs and guns.

Israel and the United States have cracked down on Hamas’s cryptocurrency financing efforts, seizing dozens of digital wallets used by the group that rules the Gaza Strip since it launched the initiative in 2019.

In a statement Thursday, the al-Qassam Brigades said it was ending Bitcoin donations "out of concern about the safety of donors and to spare them any harm," adding that it had seen an "intensification of hostile efforts against anyone who tries to support the resistance through this currency."

The terror group has faced financial woes in recent years as banks have sought to ensure they have no dealings with the organization.

and others.

Hamas officials say its military wing receives significant support from Iran, although the routes through which these funds are transferred are opaque. Last week, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.
