Israeli intelligence sources say Hezbollah is not only funneling Iranian money into Israel, but the group has marketized its terror aid by linking funding to the successful targeting of Qassam rockets from Gaza into Israel, with the payments linked to the number of Israelis killed or wounded.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Hezbollah is paying "thousands of dollars" for each Qassam rocket fired at the western Negev, with most of the money going to Palestinian splinter groups. Sources within Shin Bet, the Israeli Security Agency, said the cash, originating in Iran, is smuggled into Gaza and paid out on an attack-by -attack basis.
"We know that Hezbollah is involved in funding terrorist activity in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank," a security official told the Post. "Palestinian terrorists get thousands of dollars per attack. Sometimes they are paid before the attack and sometimes they submit a bill to Lebanon afterward and the money gets transferred a short while later."
