US sanctions Palestinian ISIS operative who aided terrorists in Jerusalem
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. February 12, 2016, 7:14 PM (IDT)
One of the three key ISIS terrorists sanctioned by the US Treasury Friday was Husayn Juaythini. He was blacklisted for providing support and services to ISIS by facilitating communications and the movement of foreign terrorist fighters and financial support. He was the link between ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to whom he pledged allegiance in Sept. 2014, and armed groups in Gaza, and financing an Islamic State foothold in Gaza. DEBKAfile adds: In the same period, Juaythini helped Palestinian terror groups in the Jerusalem region to obtain weapons and funds. Last year, he traveled to Libya, where he set up an organization for the transfer of terrorists from the Gaza Strip and Libya to fight for ISIS in Syria.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
