The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) revealed documents seized during the ground operation in Gaza, which show that the son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Mu'ad, purchased diamonds worth more than $25,000 in 2021 and 2022, both in the Gaza Strip and in Doha, the capital of Qatar, where his father resides. 

"Among the many intelligence documents, some were also seized that point to the disconnection and gap between the residents of the Gaza Strip and the Hamas leadership.
