Israeli sources revealed that Syrian-based Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya admitted to receiving funding from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran amid escalating regional tensions.

In November 2025, arrested members of the Syrian-based Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya group admitted to receiving funding from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, according to Israeli sources, amid rising regional tensions. The group, linked to attacks on Israel and operating in Lebanon and Syria, has seen increased activity as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad expand their presence in Syria with tacit Syrian approval. Israeli forces conducted a strike in southern Syria, killing three group members, while Syrian intelligence reportedly ambushed Israeli troops after their withdrawal. Pro-Palestinian protests in Lebanon, including in Sidon, highlighted ongoing support for militant causes. The U.S. is considering envoy deployment to help stabilize the region, as cross-border violence and missile activity persist.
