IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirms that Israel carried out an airstrike in Syria today.
Hagari says it targeted the head of Hezbollah’s financial arm responsible for funneling cash from Iran to Hezbollah.
Hagari does not name him, but says he has only been in the position a few weeks since his predecessor was killed.
It is part of a series of IDF strikes carried out in recent days targeting Hezbollah’s financial network.
Hagari reveals further details on Hamas’s money laundering system and says Israel will carry out further strikes in the coming days.
