A strike in the northern Gaza Strip earlier this week killed a top Hamas moneyman and his deputy, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.

The Sunday strike killed Khader Jamasi, the head of a “funds transfer network,” along with his deputy, Muhammad Harazin, who the military says served as “key money transfer operatives for the Hamas terror organization in the Gaza Strip.”

The IDF says that during the war, the pair “managed financial transfers to Hamas’s military wing in the Strip worth tens of millions of dollars, using a network of dozens of money exchangers in the Gaza Strip.”

“Through these funds, the Hamas terror organization continued to pay salaries to its terrorists to support the continued advancement and execution of terror attack plans against IDF troops and Israeli citizens,” the military says.

In recent months, the IDF has struck and killed several Hamas financial operatives in both the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
