IDF: Disrupting Hamas’ financing capabilities: To date, 16 key terrorists involved in money exchange and transferring funds to the terrorist organization have been eliminated Throughout the war, the IDF and ISA struck and eliminated 16 key financial operatives who were involved in transferring funds and financing Hamas’ terror activities. All of the terrorists eliminated managed fund transfers for the terrorist organization’s military activities in the Gaza Strip, totaling more than one billion dollars, using a network of dozens of money changers in Türkiye and the Gaza Strip. Among the senior members of Hamas’ financial apparatus who were eliminated are Ibrahim Abu Shamala, who served as the financial officer of the military wing; and Mohammed Abu Alwan, who was eliminated last Wednesday and was responsible for the funds of Hamas’ political wing. In addition, the heads of fund-transfer networks who managed the offsetting, receipt, and transfer of funds on behalf of Hamas were eliminated. Among them are Khader Jamasi, Ihab Khraizem, and Hussein Qadra. These funds are used by Hamas to finance its terrorists, build up its weapons capabilities, restore terrorist infrastructure, and advance terrorist plots against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. The IDF and ISA are focusing efforts on degrading the financing capabilities of Hamas , particularly preventing the restoration of its infrastructure and military capabilities, while eliminating the network of money exchangers that finances Hamas’ military wing and transfers hundreds of millions of dollars. These operations have significantly impacted the military activities of Hamas during the conflict. Residents of the Gaza Strip, take note: There are additional operatives in your area that continue to engage in financing efforts, fund transfers, and the advancement of Hamas’ terror activities, endangering your lives. To all those who continue to facilitate and are responsible for transferring funds and financing the military activities of Hamas: The IDF and ISA will continue to operate and strike those who directly participate in the financing mechanisms of Hamas’ terror activities, which are a lawful target of IDF and ISA operations.
