IDF Claims Hamas Financial Network Disrupted in Targeted Strikes in Gaza
What happened
Hamas confirmed the operation of military wings in Deir al-Balah and Khan Yunis. Israeli forces stated that targeted aerial strikes eliminated two Hamas operatives in these areas. In Deir al-Balah, the IDF reportedly eliminated Jabr Moqbel, who led the "Moqbel" money exchange network responsible for transferring millions of shekels in foreign currency to Hamas. The IDF stated that these funds were used to finance terrorists, restore military infrastructure, and advance attacks against Israeli troops.
Why it matters
The strikes targeted Hamas' operational capabilities and its financial support structure. The IDF stated that the organization continues to focus efforts on disrupting Hamas' financing capabilities to prevent the rehabilitation of its infrastructure and military capacity.
