  • IDF eliminates Hamas financial operative Jabr Kamal Makbel in Gaza.
  • Makbel owned a money exchange business in Gaza City.
  • Strike follows killing of Hamas finance chief Muhammad Abu Alwan.
  • Report suggests a campaign targeting Hamas's financial operations.

The Israeli military conducted a targeted strike in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, eliminating Jabr Kamal Makbel, identified as a Hamas operative involved in financial activities. The strike occurred approximately an hour before the report was filed.

Makbel was reportedly the owner of a money exchange and transfer business located on Al-Jalaa Street near the Al-Ghafri traffic light in Gaza City. The report notes that this strike follows the elimination of Muhammad Abu Alwan, head of Hamas's finance department, in Khan Yunis the previous day. The article suggests a pattern of targeting Hamas's financial infrastructure, possibly in preparation for the upcoming holiday.

The report includes a darkly humorous, albeit graphic, Arabic phrase implying that if one sees the roof of a Hyundai blown off, it signifies a Hamas operative has been killed, and provides a mock phone number for funeral arrangements, stating there will be no open casket for Makbel due to the nature of his death.
