The EU imposed new sanctions on Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) on Friday. This includes three front companies that were intended to facilitate financial flows for the terrorist organization Hamas.
In addition, six people have been affected, according to a statement from the EU states. For example, they participated in the financing of the terrorist organizations or made their violent actions possible. The individuals include a member of the Hamas political bureau, a senior Hamas political official and a PIJ official. Your assets must be frozen. They must also not receive any money or economic resources. Furthermore, they are not allowed to travel to the EU.
Twelve people on the list
The three affected organizations are said to have acted as front companies to facilitate Hamas’s financial flows. With this decision, a total of twelve individuals and three organizations are now on the EU sanctions list. It was introduced in January 2024 in response to the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
Air raids in the north
The Israeli army said on Friday it carried out airstrikes in the northern Gaza Strip, killing “dozens” of Hamas fighters. The armed forces began “targeted attacks” in a suburb of Gaza city on Thursday, the report said. The secret service would have known that terrorists were present there.
The war in Gaza started more than eight months ago. According to Hamas figures, which cannot be independently verified, around 38,000 people have been killed so far.
