Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced jointly today, September 23, that the Israel Defense Forces killed Muhammad Abu Alwan, the head of Hamas's finance division, in the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Katz said further on the X platform that he commended the IDF and the Shin Bet internal security agency for a precise and proactive operation to thwart the enemy, and confirmed that they would continue to hunt down Hamas commanders and operational-level members in order to strike funding sources and destroy the terrorist group's military infrastructure. He said Hamas would not be allowed to rebuild its capabilities, and that the campaign would not stop until no Hamas remains in Gaza. However, the statement did not disclose in-depth details about the operational steps, the situation during the airstrike, or Abu Alwan's specific role within Hamas's financial apparatus.
