IDF Eliminates Hamas Financial Operative Behind Geneva Exchange Network
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on September 27 that it had eliminated Shadi Abu Hasira in Gaza City. Abu Hasira was identified by the IDF as a key figure in a currency exchange network called "Geneva" that allegedly funneled tens of millions of Israeli shekels, converted to foreign currency, to Hamas's military wing. According to the IDF, these funds were used to finance terrorists, rebuild military infrastructure, and prepare attacks against IDF soldiers.
Despite its European-sounding name, "Geneva" was described as a local Palestinian shadow operation. It reportedly operated within the Gaza Strip under the guise of legitimate exchange offices and commercial ventures belonging to Abu Hasira's company, Gardena Professional. This company allegedly served as both a legal front for financial illicit activities and a channel for cross-border transfers.
The IDF stated that Abu Hasira was engaged in terrorist activities, leading to his elimination via an airstrike. The military added that measures were taken to minimize civilian harm, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance, before the strike was carried out. The IDF reiterated its commitment to continuing its efforts to dismantle Hamas's military and logistical resources.
