The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated two operatives last week who were involved in transferring millions of shekels from Iran and Turkey to the military wing of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. A joint statement from the IDF and Shin Bet security agency revealed that these funds recently aided Hamas's efforts to rebuild its military capabilities and advance terror operations against soldiers and civilians, in violation of the ceasefire.
On Wednesday, Alaa Ibrahim Nimer Arshi, a squad commander in Hamas's military wing, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. The day prior, Karim Riyad Hassan Abu Batikhan, an Islamic Jihad operative facilitating fund transfers to Hamas, was eliminated in an attack in Nuseirat.
According to the IDF and Shin Bet, both operatives transferred millions of shekels from the Iranian regime and Turkey throughout the war. The statement did not specify the identities of the Turkish sources or the transfer routes. Their elimination was intended to neutralize the threat posed by their activities.
In a separate operation on Thursday, an arms depot belonging to Hamas's military wing was destroyed by an airstrike in central Gaza. The depot contained various weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, launchers, and rockets.
Security officials emphasized their continued commitment to combating the financing and armament networks of terror organizations in Gaza and thwarting attempts to restore their military capabilities. IDF forces in the Southern Command remain deployed in the area according to the agreement and are working to neutralize threats.
