Ahval: Turkey gives Hamas military assistance – Israeli intelligence
Turkey has rejected claims brought up in an investigation by Israeli intelligence that it has helped strengthen Hamas, the Islamist governing party of the blockaded Palestinian territory of Gaza, the Jerusalem Post reported on Thursday.
Israel’s claims came after a Turkish citizen, Cemil Tekeli, was arrested attempting to board a plane at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport.
The ensuing investigation by Israeli internal intelligence agency Shin Bet reportedly found that Tekeli had provided personal and economic assistance in Turkey to several operatives from Hamas, a group that Israel considers a terrorist organisation. All of these operatives had moved to Turkey after been involved in terrorist attacks against Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The Shin Bet’s findings implied that Turkish officials had turned a blind eye to money flowing from Hamas to Tekeli, said the report.
