Hamas spies have been caught compiling disturbing files on aid workers operating in Gaza, with one dossier even noting a woman who "leaves her house in exposed clothing" and another detailing a person's "immoral relationship with a female", reports the New York Post.

The shocking revelations come from internal Hamas documents seized by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) between 2018 and 2022, before the recent conflict erupted. The papers expose the chilling extent of the terrorist regime's suffocating control over humanitarian staff attempting to assist the Gazan population.

Charities forced to appoint Hamas-vetted 'guarantors'

International aid organizations are prohibited from dealing directly with designated terror groups like Hamas, states The Post. As a result, charities working in Gaza must appoint local "guarantors" who act as liaisons and are vetted by Hamas's Ministry of Interior and National Security.

One guarantor was deemed "morally suspicious due to obtained information against him, from close people, about his immoral relationship with a female employee." Another was described as despising "the Hamas movement," while a third's "religious observance is low," according to a report analyzing the captured documents compiled by NGO Monitor.

Extensive dossiers on aid workers' personal lives

Hamas's dossiers on 55 guarantors working with 48 international groups delved into disturbingly personal territory. Spies scoured the individuals' social media accounts, noting in one woman's file that she "does not have hostile activity on Facebook."

The Islamist group also exhibited paranoia about rival factions. They complained that the guarantor for Catholic Relief Services, a massive charity operating in 100 countries, was "affiliated with the Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] (PFLP)"– a group designated as a terrorist organization by the US, EU, and Canada.

In contrast, a guarantor working with Doctors Without Borders France earned praise for being "religiously observant." Hamas even documented a money transfer he had received.

'Constant technological surveillance'

The report reveals Hamas subjects international relief groups to "constant technological surveillance." It concludes the organizations do not operate independently in Gaza. "Rather, they are embedded in an institutionalized framework of coercion, intimidation and surveillance that services Hamas' terror objectives."

Hamas's vetting process included probing the finances of foreign nonprofits seeking to work in Gaza. In 2019, Hamas security chiefs took aim at the UK's Save the Children, active in over 100 countries. They griped that Save the Children "does not yield" to financial inspections and called for "restrictions…on its programs and projects until attaining cooperation with the Ministry of Interior."

The IDF-captured documents originated from the Gaza Security Mechanism, a division of Hamas's Interior Ministry responsible for the terrorist group's law enforcement in the territory.

Hamas's sinister sway over aid efforts in Gaza had previously come to light with the exposure of its influence on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Israel asserts that no fewer than 12 UNRWA employees took part in the October 7, 2023 attacks that claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis.
