- The network operated since at least 2020, with $626,000 raised from American donors who were told funds would aid Gaza civilians but were directed to Hamas instead.
- The US and France coordinated arrests: three men were detained in France, while two Louisiana brothers and a Florida resident were arrested in the United States; the Gaza-based ringleader remains at large.
- The US Treasury Department sanctioned the individuals and two sham French charities involved in the scheme, which US officials said supplied Hamas with funds to sustain operations.
