In partnership with the Sultanate of Oman, the US Treasury Dept. designates financial facilitators responsible for moving tens of millions of dollars between Iran’s IRGC Quds Force & Hamas’ operational arm, the Izz-Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza.

“These facilitators funneled tens of millions of dollars from Iran’s Qods Force through Hizballah in Lebanon to Hamas for terrorist attacks originating from the Gaza Strip," said Sigal Mandelker, Treasury’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

"Hamas' continued violent campaign against innocent civilians and the state of Israel is to the great detriment of the people in Gaza.”
