Washington offered financial rewards of up to $10 million in exchange for providing information about five of those it said were financing the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), or any information that would lead to disrupting the movement’s financing mechanisms.
The US State Department said, in a statement, that the five wanted persons are Abdel Basset Hamza Al-Hassan Muhammad Khair, Amer Kamal Sharif Al-Shawa, Ahmed Sado Jahlab, Walid Muhammad Mustafa Jadallah, and Muhammad Ahmed Abdel-Dayem Nasrallah, who were previously classified by the United States as “international terrorists.”
The ministry said, “Rewards will be offered for information on any source of revenue for Hamas, major donors and financial institutions that facilitate Hamas’ transactions, front companies that purchase dual-use technology for Hamas, and criminal schemes that financially benefit the movement.”
The reward offer comes after four rounds of US sanctions on Hamas following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7th.
