Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF announced it had killed Hamas’s finance minister and one of its high command officials in charge of a mix of political and diplomatic issues.
According to the military, Jawad Abu Shamala handled Hamas’ terror financing both within and outside Gaza. This attack came after multiple attacks on Hamas’ main banks in recent days.
Zakariya Abu Moammar was the other official killed. He was involved in long-term strategic decisions as well as coordination with other terror groups.
This is a developing story.
