Here’s the latest from the Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas, where Israeli counterrorism agent “Avi” testified about Hamas connections to zakat (charity) organizations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip: HAMAS Propaganda Discovered In Offices Of HLF Beneficiaries.

The terror support trial of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) continued this morning with direct examination of the Legal Advisor for the Counterterrorism Division of the Israeli Security Agency (ISA), who testified under the pseudonym “Avi.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth J. Shapiro resumed her questioning by walking the jury through an extensive list of Zakat (Charity) Committees throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip that were controlled by HAMAS and received contributions from the global HAMAS charitable network - which included the Richardson, Texas-based HLF.

Posters, videos, key chains, postcards, documents, and other evidence was collected by the Israeli Defense Forces during Operation Defensive Shield in April of 2002. The operation, initiated in response to a series of terrorist attacks in March 2002 that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 Israeli civilians, revealed a cache of HAMAS propaganda stored in the offices and subsidiaries of these supposed charitable societies. “Avi” testified that the seized materials were used to glorify martyrdom and indoctrinate children.

Most of the posters contained pictures of famous HAMAS fighters and martyrs including Yehya Ayyash, known as the “the Engineer,” who is called the “father of martyrdom operations” on the website of the HAMAS military wing, the Ezzedeen Al Qassam Brigades.

In a video seized from the Muslim Youth Society in Hebron, a school or camp ceremony can be seen where children are singing lyrics like “Death for my country is a wish” and “Long live Ezzedeen Brigades.”
