According to the IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, On Sunday, the Air Force eliminated Abed Al-Zeriei, a terrorist operative in the Manufacturing Department of Hamas' Military Wing, who also served as Hamas' Minister of Economy in the Gaza Strip. The Manufacturing Department operates to increase Hamas' weapons capabilities, including by exchanging information with other terrorist organizations across the Middle East. Al-Zeriei had a significant role in directing Hamas' efforts to seize control of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and in managing Hamas-controlled markets. Furthermore, he was responsible for the distribution of fuel, gas, and funds for terrorist purposes.
