Israeli military officials reported Wednesday that they successfully targeted and killed two senior Hamas financial operatives who oversaw the organization’s money transfer operations in Gaza.
The strike eliminated Khader Jamasi, described as the leader of Hamas’ fund transfer network, and Muhammad Harazin, who served as his deputy, according to military statements released on social media.
Military officials described both men as key players in Hamas’ financial structure, stating they were responsible for channeling substantial amounts of money to the organization’s armed forces.
The Israeli military reported that these operatives managed a system of currency exchangers throughout Gaza that moved funds to Hamas. Officials said this network processed tens of millions of dollars that were ultimately funneled to the group’s armed activities.
According to military statements, the financial operation depended on “a network of dozens of money exchangers operating throughout the Strip.”
“These funds enabled the Hamas terrorist organization to continue paying salaries to its terrorists, supporting the planning and execution of terrorist attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians,” the military stated.
This development occurs as Israeli military operations against Hamas infrastructure persist following the ceasefire that began in October 2025. Military officials say they continue working to disrupt terrorist networks and have confirmed eliminating numerous Hamas operatives, including high-ranking officials.
Israeli authorities claim Hamas has not fulfilled the terms of the US-backed 20-point plan due to the organization’s continued refusal to surrender its weapons.
Multiple senior Hamas military commanders have been eliminated in Israeli operations over recent months. In late May 2026, Mohammed Odeh, who had been newly named commander of Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was eliminated in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Gaza City.
Earlier that same month in May 2026, an Israeli operation in Gaza City resulted in the death of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, who had formerly led Hamas’s military wing in Gaza.
Military officials emphasized that Jamasi and Harazin were crucial in maintaining Hamas’ armed operations by facilitating money transfers within the Gaza Strip.
