 <p>The cyber unit of Israel Police’s Lahav 433 has blocked crypto accounts belonging to Hamas a few days after the Palestinian militant group launched an attack in Israel, killing hundreds of civilians.</p>
 <p>According to The Times of Israel, a spokesperson for the cyber unit said that Hamas had been seeking fresh capital in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>, calling for donations on social media since Oct. 7.</p>

 <p>As of press time, approximately 900 people have been killed, and over 2,300 others have been injured by Hamas forces. Palestinian authorities claim around 560 people have died and another 2,900 have been injured as Israel increased airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.</p>
