The IDF announced Thursday that it killed Ihab Khrizim, the head of a central Hamas funds transfer network, in an airstrike in Khan Younis.

According to the IDF, Khrizim was responsible for managing the transfer of millions of dollars to Hamas’ military wing, helping fund the group’s attacks and operational activity in Gaza.

The military said Khrizim had continued to violate the ceasefire in recent months and enabled Hamas to carry out attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

The strike was carried out in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza. Israeli officials said the operation was conducted to remove an immediate threat.

The IDF also said it killed Muhammad al-Habash, a Hamas unit commander involved in manufacturing weapons for the terror group.

Khrizim’s elimination comes as Israel continues targeted operations against Hamas commanders, financiers and weapons operatives in Gaza, focusing not only on battlefield leaders but also on the financial and logistical networks that allow the terror group to rearm and continue its operations.

Israeli officials have repeatedly said that Hamas’ military infrastructure relies heavily on underground financial channels, weapons production networks and operatives responsible for moving funds to the group’s armed wing.
