Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) this week signed an order for the seizure of cryptocurrencies in the amount of NIS 2.6 million ($836,467) from the al-Mathaddon exchange company, belonging to the Malach family and linked to Hamas in Gaza, Israel Hayom reported.

The move follows a seizure of other digital wallets, which Gantz started a few months ago. Following the order, about 150 digital wallets of al-Mathaddon were then confiscated.

The company was attempting to send fund to Hamas. According to security sources, the company increased activity after the assassination of terrorist Hamed Ahmed Khudari, also a money changer responsible for funding terrorism.
