The IDF discovered a copy of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf during a raid on a Hamas-affiliated charity office in Hebron, the military announced on Thursday.
During operations at the offices of the Islamic Charity Association in Hebron, troops found a copy of the book translated into Arabic.
The Islamic Charity Association publicly presents as a charity for the needy, but actually functions as an organizational arm of Hamas, the military stated.
The organization works to promote terror incitement, recruits terrorists, and funnels money for attacks, the IDF added. It is one of many branches in the West Bank.

Additionally, the military stated that troops seized approximately NIS 165,700 in terror funds, as well as computers, technological devices, bags, documents, and other items used for terror incitement.
The IDF noted that soldiers had sealed the office's main door to prevent anyone from entering.
In June 2024, Arab-Israeli activist Yosef Hadad published an image online showing an IDF soldier holding a copy of another Arabic-language Mein Kampf in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, where
the book was reportedly discovered.
President Isaac Herzog stated in a November 2023 BBC interview that IDF soldiers had discovered yet another copy of the book on the body of a terrorist who was hiding in a child’s bedroom in a northern Gaza apartment.
