The IDF announced that two senior terror operatives responsible for funneling millions of shekels from Iran and Turkey to Hamas’ military wing were eliminated in separate airstrikes in the Gaza Strip last week.

According to the military, Alaa Ibrahim Nimer Arshi, a cell commander in Hamas’ military wing, was killed Wednesday in Gaza City. A day earlier, Karam Riyad Hassan Abu Butaihan, an operative with Palestinian Islamic Jihad, was eliminated in Nuseirat in central Gaza.

Both terrorists played key roles in transferring millions of shekels to Hamas, providing critical funding for the terror organization’s efforts to rebuild its military capabilities and prepare new attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.

The IDF said the financial transfers were part of Hamas’ systematic violations of the ceasefire, with the funds being used to restore its terrorist infrastructure and advance attacks against Israel.

The military said the two operatives were targeted to eliminate the threats they posed.

In a separate operation Thursday, the IDF struck and destroyed three Hamas weapons depots in central Gaza.

According to the military, the facilities contained an arsenal of weapons, including Kalashnikov assault rifles, rockets and a rocket launcher.

The strikes targeted both Hamas’ financial network and its weapons stockpiles as the terror organization continued efforts to rebuild its military capabilities despite the ceasefire.
