Israel liquidates Hamas money manager

The Israeli army announces that troops working with the Shin Bet security agency killed Nur al-Din Dabbaghsh, a Hamas operative who managed finances for the group’s military arm.

Dabbaghsh was accused of collecting and transferring tens of millions of dollars to the Palestinian radicals, money that Israel says funded weapons and operations, and helped sustain the organization’s fighting capabilities.

The military also says its forces continue to strike Hamas infrastructure and operatives across the Gaza Strip, targeting sites both above and below ground while intensifying pressure on Hamas’ military wing.
