IDF Confirms Killing Hamas Financier Khreizim and Weapons Production Chief Habash

The IDF confirmed on May 28, 2026 the killing of Ihad Khreizim, a Hamas financier described by Israeli military intelligence as responsible for channeling 'millions of dollars' to the Qassam Brigades' operational structure. Separately, the IDF confirmed the killing of Muhammad al-Habash, identified as leading a Hamas weapons manufacturing headquarters responsible for producing rockets, explosives, and improvised weapons for use against Israeli forces and civilians. Both killings were part of Israel's sustained campaign to degrade Hamas's military and financial infrastructure beyond leadership strikes. The IDF's intelligence directorate (Aman) tracked both figures as central nodes in the weapons production and funding network that sustained Hamas's capacity to resist Israeli operations. These confirmations came on the same day the IDF reported killing two Hamas brigade-level commanders (Aslim and Bik), representing a notably high-intensity intelligence and strike tempo in a single 24-hour period.
