8:00 AM - This month's airstrike targeting top Hamas commander Raed Saad also killed a prominent money man in the terror group, the military says
Abd al-Hayy Zaqout, who served in Hamas's finance division, was in the car with Saad and killed alongside him on December 13, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee says.
"Over the past year, Zaqout was responsible for raising tens of millions of dollars and transferring them to Hamas’s military wing, with the aim of continuing the fighting against the State of Israel," Adraee adds.
