The IDF announces that troops working with the Shin Bet security agency killed Nur al-Din Dabbaghsh earlier this week, a Hamas operative who managed finances for the group’s military arm. Dabbaghsh was accused of collecting and transferring tens of millions of dollars to the terror group during the war, money that Israel says funded weapons and operations, and helped sustain the organization’s fighting capabilities.

The military also says its forces continue to strike Hamas infrastructure and operatives across the Gaza Strip, targeting sites both above and below ground while intensifying pressure on Hamas’ military wing.

In northern Gaza, forces from the 99th Division report destroying anti-tank missile launch sites, a weapons storage facility, and additional infrastructure, while soldiers from the Nahal Brigade killed several Hamas operatives in clashes nearby.

Elsewhere, Givati Brigade troops and the 401st Armored Brigade, operating under 162nd Division, continue advancing in the Jabalia area and elsewhere on the outskirts of Gaza City, where they have eliminated terrorists, dismantled explosives, and destroyed further Hamas positions.
