The Israeli military carried out a strike in Khan Yunis that killed Ihab Khrizim, a leader of a central Hamas funds transfer network. The operation targeted a key figure in the movement's financial operations.
Khrizim was responsible for transferring millions of dollars to Hamas's military wing. The IDF stated he had continued violating ceasefire terms, enabling attacks on Israeli forces and civilians.
The same strike killed Mohammed al-Habash, a Hamas unit commander involved in weapons production. The operation occurred amid ongoing indirect talks between Israel and Hamas.
