Hamas Paying Government Salaries: Despite being severely weakened by nearly two years of war, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group continues to pay the salaries of tens of thousands of civil servants in the Gaza Strip. According to an August 7 BBC report, the group has maintained a secret cash-based payment system that distributes over $7 million in salaries to some 30,000 civil servants. Israel has targeted Hamas salary distributors throughout the war in Gaza in an attempt to decentralize the terrorist group’s financial system, leading salary distributors to set up secret meetings through encrypted messages at which payments are made to employees.
