The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated two terrorists last week who were involved in transferring millions of shekels to Hamas's military wing. On Wednesday, the IDF targeted Alaa Ibrahim Nemer Arshi, identified as a cell leader in Hamas's military wing, in the Gaza City area. The previous day, Tuesday, a separate strike in the Nuseirat area killed Karam Riyad Hassan Abu Batayhan, described as a terrorist in the Islamic Jihad movement who facilitated fund transfers to Hamas.

According to an IDF statement, both individuals were instrumental in moving millions of shekels from Iran and Turkey to Hamas's military wing throughout the ongoing conflict. The IDF stated that these funds were recently used by Hamas to rebuild its military capabilities and plan attacks against IDF forces and Israeli civilians, in violation of a ceasefire.

To neutralize the threat, the two terrorists were eliminated in aerial strikes. Additionally, on Thursday, the IDF and Shin Bet jointly attacked and destroyed a weapons depot in central Gaza that was used by Hamas's military wing to store various armaments, including Kalashnikov rifles, rocket launchers, and shells.

The IDF affirmed its commitment to continuing operations against terrorist organizations in Gaza, aiming to degrade their capabilities, disrupt their funding, and prevent any attempts to rearm or acquire weapons for targeting Israeli forces.
