Burned money scattered after Hamas’ finance chief is killed

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 26 Agustus 2014 | 17.08

Hamas' finance chief was killed by a pinpoint missile strike that ripped open his car — and scattered US currency on the streets of Gaza City.

Bills burned by the blast lay amid the debris near where Muhammad al-Ghoul, who handled "terror funds," was killed.

An Israeli military spokesman, Maj. Arye Shalicar, said al-Ghoul "was an important Hamas actor who dealt with transferring funds to build terror infrastructure in Gaza, such as tunnels, and was a key target."

Israeli officials said the money was on its way to fund more terrorist activities.

The attack Sunday came just four days after three leaders of Hamas' military wing were also taken out in targeted strikes.

Israel also tried to assassinate Mohammed Deif, the chief of Hamas' military wing. His fate remains unknown.

In remarks broadcast Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to press on.

"Hamas is paying, and will continue to pay, a heavy price for the crimes it carries out," he said.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said the precision strikes are a testament to Israel's determination.

"We take advantage of every intelligence and operational opportunity to harm terrorists and their commanders, even when they are in hideouts and surround themselves with women and children," Ya'alon said. "We know how to get to them."

As of late Monday, 111 rockets had been fired into Israel since midnight, including 97 that landed and 13 that were intercepted by the "Iron Dome."

Meanwhile, officials in Iran warned they would "accelerate" arming Palestinians on the West Bank to retaliate for Israel sending a spy drone over the Natanz nuclear site. Iran said it shot the drone down Saturday.
