Israel has claimed the killing of a top financier of the Palestinian armed group Hamas. The Israeli army made this claim on Thursday (April 11). Hamas was not immediately available for comment. Qatar-based media Al Jazeera reported this news.
In a statement, the Israeli army said Nasser Yaakov Jabbar Nasser was killed in Gaza. He is one of the main financiers of Hamas’ military activities. He is active in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
According to the statement, in December last year, he gave millions of dollars for the military activities of Hamas.
It also said that Israeli forces killed terrorists and destroyed their infrastructure in Shujaiya area of Gaza City.
The Israeli military claimed the airstrikes hit a Hamas outpost used for training and exercises. It has been destroyed.
The six-month-long Israeli military offensive in Gaza was in response to a Hamas attack in southern Israel on October 7. Almost all residents of Gaza have been displaced from their homes by the Israeli operation and have taken shelter elsewhere. There was a risk of famine and disease spreading throughout the valley. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the death toll has so far exceeded 33,500.
