The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Sunday the elimination of Shadi Abu Hatira, a central money changer for Hamas's military wing, in an airstrike in Gaza City. The IDF stated that Abu Hatira led the "Geneva" exchange network, which transferred tens of millions of shekels in foreign currency to Hamas's military arm. These funds were allegedly used to finance terrorists, rebuild military infrastructure, and advance terror plots against Israeli forces.

In addition to his role in money exchange, Abu Hatira was involved in trade within the Gaza Strip and managed the company "Gardena Professional," which reportedly facilitated his financial operations. The IDF asserted that Abu Hatira systematically violated the ceasefire, promoted terror attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians, and worked to restore the terrorist organization's capabilities.

The strike was carried out from the air to neutralize the threat he posed. The IDF stated its commitment to continuing efforts to disrupt Hamas's military financing, prevent the rebuilding of its infrastructure and military capabilities, and ensure the security of the area.
