An airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip earlier this week killed a senior Hamas moneyman, the IDF announces.
The Tuesday strike in Khan Younis killed Ihab Khrizim, who the military says headed a central network for transferring funds to Hamas. The strike also killed Mohammed al-Habash, a commander in Hamas’s weapons production headquarters, according to the IDF.
Khrizim was responsible for “managing the transfer of millions of dollars to Hamas’s military wing,” and recently, he “continued to violate the ceasefire agreement,” as his actions enabled Hamas to advance attacks on troops and Israeli civilians, the IDF says.
The IDF says his killing “constitutes a significant blow to the rehabilitation and force-building efforts of the Hamas terror organization.”
