The IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA) announced that a joint operation carried out in northern Gaza last Sunday successfully eliminated two senior Hamas operatives who played central roles in the terrorist group’s financial infrastructure.

According to Israeli officials, the strike targeted Khader Jamasi, who oversaw Hamas’ money-transfer apparatus, along with his deputy, Muhammad Harazin. Both men were deeply involved in managing and distributing funds on behalf of Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip.

Israeli intelligence assessments indicate that during the course of the war, the pair facilitated the movement of tens of millions of dollars to Hamas’ military wing through an extensive network of currency exchange businesses operating across Gaza.

The transferred funds were used to sustain Hamas’ terrorist activities, including paying operatives, maintaining the organization’s military capabilities, and financing attacks against both IDF personnel and Israeli civilians.

The two operatives are the latest members of Hamas’ financial leadership to be eliminated. Over the past year, Israeli forces have also targeted and killed other key figures involved in the organization’s monetary operations, including senior operatives Firas Mashharawi and Ihab Khrizim.

Following the operation, the IDF emphasized that measures were taken to reduce the possibility of civilian casualties during the strike.

“Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.”

The military also stressed that Israeli forces remain positioned in the area under the terms of the ceasefire arrangement and will continue responding to security threats as necessary.

“IDF troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
