IDF Data Shows Massive Surge in Terror Funds Seized in West Bank
IDF data shows a dramatic surge in property and funds seized in the West Bank, jumping from 1.9 million shekels in 2019 to nearly 18 million shekels in 2025 as security forces intensify financial crackdowns on terror networks.
IDF data reveals a sharp surge in the value of property and funds seized in the West Bank over recent years, soaring from approximately 1.9 million shekels in 2019 to nearly 18 million shekels by 2025. Nearly three-quarters of the total seized property value over the past seven years was recorded during the last two years alone.
According to the figures, the financial volume of seizures remained relatively stable between 2019 and 2023. In 2019, property worth about 1.9 million shekels was confiscated, dropping to 1.67 million in 2020 and rising to 2.52 million in 2021. The figures stood at 1.89 million shekels in 2022 and 2.49 million in 2023.
A dramatic shift occurred in 2024, when the value of seized property jumped to roughly 10.8 million shekels. In 2025, it reached 17.97 million shekels, marking an increase of about 66% in a single year and representing a massive leap compared to previous years.
A notable operation in May 2025 targeted terrorist financial infrastructures across the West Bank, during which security forces raided currency exchange businesses, arrested around 30 suspects, and confiscated over seven million shekels intended for terror financing. This financial crackdown coincided with expanded military operations, including roughly 80 brigade-level operations by the Central Command and the "Iron Wall" operation in the northern West Bank.
