US State Dept. designates Hamas commander as global terrorist
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US State Department designated Hamas military commander Abu Anas al-Ghandour as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist.”
This classification imposes sanctions on al-Ghandour. The US can no longer have any deals or transactions with the Hamas commander. Any money or property he has in the US is also “frozen,” the US State Department says.
Al-Ghandour was involved in the attack that led to the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit, a dual French-Israeli citizen.
“Ghandour has also served on the Hamas Shura Council and political bureau,” the US State Department says.
