The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced Sunday that they eliminated two individuals accused of transferring millions of shekels to Hamas's armed wing in strikes conducted last week in the Gaza Strip. According to a joint statement from the two agencies, Alaa Ibrahim Nimer Arshi, described as a cell commander in Hamas's military branch, was killed on Wednesday in the Gaza City area. A second man, Karam Riyad Hassan Abou Batihan, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, was eliminated on Tuesday in a strike in the Nuseirat area in the central Gaza Strip. The Israeli military stated that both men were involved in channeling funds from Iran and Turkey to Hamas's armed wing. These funds, estimated at several million shekels, were allegedly used to rebuild the organization's military capabilities and prepare for new attacks against Israel. The IDF asserted that these activities constituted a violation of the ceasefire. Additionally, the IDF and Shin Bet reported destroying a Hamas weapons depot in central Gaza on Thursday. The site contained Kalashnikov assault rifles, a rocket launcher, and several rockets. These operations, according to the IDF, are part of ongoing efforts to prevent the rearmament of terrorist organizations in the Palestinian enclave.
