According to Israeli authorities, the money belonged to the Islamic Jihad movement and will be used to compensate 17 families for family members they lost during the Palestinian bomb attack at Megiddo four years ago. The families are asking for roughly 400,000 NIS (93,023.00USD), which leaves 5,600,000NIS (1,302,325.60USD) in excess.
