The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported major strikes in Gaza City on Thursday, claiming the life of Saeed Ahmad Abed Khudari—a key money exchanger for Hamas involved in funneling funds to its military wing. 🌟
Khudari, who headed the Al Wefaq Co. fund (a group designated as a terrorist organization for its financial links), played an even bigger role after the loss of his brother Hamed Khudari in 2019. His activities intensified further after October 7, 2023.
In further developments, the IDF stated that two other senior militants were also eliminated. Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Awad, a high-ranking commander linked to the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and alleged kidnappings and murders, and Mohammed Saleh Mohammed Al-Bardawil, reported as a propaganda and psychological operative for Hamas' military wing, were both hit in the latest strikes. 🔍
This operation highlights ongoing efforts by the IDF to disrupt networks believed to support militant activities. As the situation evolves, experts note the significant impact that targeting financial channels can have on reducing militant capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates as events continue to unfold.
