The IDF struck a building in the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the Gaza Strip yesterday, which it says was used by a Hamas-linked company to funnel funds to the terror group.
The building in the Deir al-Balah area housed offices of the Elkahira company, which according to the IDF, was a “central part of the infrastructure used to store and transfer large amounts of funds to terror organizations in the Gaza Strip, as well as to carry out terror activities” since the beginning of the war.
The IDF says the strike was carried out after it ordered the evacuation of Palestinian civilians in the area. It also says a fighter jet launched “precision munitions” in the attack, to mitigate harm to civilians.
In a separate attack on Thursday, the IDF says it killed an employee of Elkahira who had transferred funds to terror groups in Gaza, including the military wing of Hamas.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
