The IDF and Shin Bet say a Hamas operative involved in the funding of the military wing of the terror group was killed in a recent strike in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

Nasser Yaqub Jaber Nasser, according to the IDF and Shin Bet, was responsible for funding a “significant part” of Hamas’s military activity in Rafah.

In December, Nasser aided in the transfer of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the terror group, the IDF says.
