US Treasury Imposes Sanctions on Hamas Operatives and Financial Facilitators Following Terrorist Attack

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions on ten individuals associated with Hamas, including operatives and financial facilitators, in Gaza and other countries. The sanctions target members managing assets in Hamas's secret investment portfolio, a Qatar-based financial facilitator with ties to Iran, a key Hamas commander, and a Gaza-based virtual currency exchange. The U.S. aims to disrupt Hamas's sources of revenue and coordinate with allies to track and seize Hamas-related assets. This action builds on previous sanctions against Hamas and its networks, and is part of the U.S.'s ongoing efforts to combat terrorism financing.
