Israel says it killed Hamas financier in Lebanon strike

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

A senior Hamas moneyman was killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon last week, the military and Shin Bet say.

The strike killed Walid Mohammad Dib, “a senior figure in the Hamas terror organization’s financial network,” a joint statement says.

The IDF and Shin Bet say that Dib was responsible for transferring funds to various Hamas departments in Lebanon, the West Bank, and other locations, as well as being tasked with “recruiting operatives and directing terror activity from Syria and Lebanon.”

No details are given on where or when the strike took place.

An Israeli strike last week killed another top Hamas moneyman in Lebanon, and the offices of the terror group’s “fundraising apparatus” in Sidon were targeted in a strike on March 6.
