The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of two individuals involved in financing Hamas's military wing. The operations took place in separate locations within the Gaza Strip.
On October 21, an IDF strike in the Gaza City area killed Alaa Ibrahim Nimer Arshi, identified as the leader of a terrorist cell within Hamas's military wing. The previous day, Karama Riyad Hasan Abu Butayhan, associated with Islamic Jihad and involved in fund transfers, was eliminated in the Nuseirat area.
According to the agencies, both men were instrumental in transferring millions of shekels from Turkey and Iran to Hamas throughout the ongoing hostilities. These funds were reportedly used to rebuild the organization's military capabilities and plan attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. The security forces stated that these actions constituted systematic violations of the ceasefire, necessitating the operations to neutralize the threat.
In a separate operation on October 22, a joint IDF and Shin Bet strike destroyed an arms depot in central Gaza. The facility contained rockets, launchers, and Kalashnikov rifles belonging to Hamas's military wing. The IDF reported taking measures to minimize civilian risk before the strike, including warning nearby residents and using precision munitions.
