Two senior figures identified as key operators in Hamas’ financial infrastructure in Gaza have been killed, according to an announcement released on Tuesday.
The individuals were named as Khader Jamasi, described as the head of Hamas’ funds transfer network, and his deputy, Muhammad Harazin.
Both men were reportedly involved in managing the movement of money that supported the group’s activities inside the Gaza Strip.
Alleged Role in Moving Millions of Dollars
Authorities said Jamasi and Harazin played central roles in a financial system that facilitated the transfer of large sums of money to Hamas’ military wing.
Investigators claim the network was responsible for channeling tens of millions of dollars into Gaza over time.
The operation allegedly relied on a broad network of money exchangers working across the territory, allowing funds to be moved and distributed while avoiding traditional banking channels.
Network of Money Exchangers Under Scrutiny
According to the statement, dozens of currency exchange operators throughout Gaza were used as part of the financial structure. The network is believed to have served as a critical mechanism for transferring and managing funds destined for Hamas’ military operations.
Officials contend that disrupting the organization’s financial channels is a key component of efforts to weaken its operational capabilities and limit access to resources.
Financial Infrastructure Targeted
The reported deaths of Jamasi and Harazin mark a significant strike against what authorities describe as Hamas’ internal funding apparatus. Security officials maintain that targeting financial operatives is intended to hinder the flow of money that supports the group’s activities in Gaza.
Further details regarding the operation and the broader impact on Hamas’ financing network were not immediately released.
