According to the documentation, in the years 2014, 2015, 2019, and 2020, Sinwar received $15 million, $48 million, $42 million, and $12 million, respectively.
Additionally, a video published by the IDF apparently showing the discovery of some of the funds reveals a safe and some bags containing money earmarked for terror, the IDF said.
