The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of two terrorists involved in transferring millions of shekels to Hamas's military wing. The strikes, which occurred last week, targeted individuals facilitating the flow of funds from Iran and Turkey to the organization.

One of the targeted individuals was Alaa Ibrahim Nimer Arshi, identified as a squad commander in Hamas's military wing, who was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza City area. In a separate strike in the Nuseirat area, Karem Riyad Hassan Abu Batichan, described as a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad organization, was eliminated for his role in transferring funds to Hamas.

These funds were reportedly used by Hamas to rebuild its military capabilities and advance terror operations against Israeli forces and civilians, in violation of the ceasefire. The airstrikes were conducted to neutralize this threat.

In addition to the targeted killings, the IDF and Shin Bet also struck and destroyed a weapons storage facility in central Gaza last Thursday. The facility, used by Hamas's military wing, contained various types of weaponry, including Kalashnikov rifles and rockets.
