Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino visits Israeli army base to 'boost morale of forces'

The US Treasury on Wednesday (October 18) slapped sanctions on 10 Hamas members, operatives and financial facilitators as the militant group continues to fight Israeli forces. The fresh sanctions target individuals based in Gaza as well in countries like Sudan, Algeria and Qatar.

"The United States is taking swift and decisive action to target Hamas'&nbsp;financiers and facilitators following its brutal and unconscionable massacre of Israeli civilians, including children," said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a separate statement that those who were sanctioned helped Hamas to "carry out acts like the vicious attack on Israel."

"Today's actions are directed at Hamas terrorists and their support network, not Palestinians," he added, calling for a release of hostages in its custody.

Treasury Secretary Yellen said that the US will "continue to take all steps necessary" in order to deny Hamas capability to raise money to carry out "atrocities".

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said said that the US is &nbsp;"committed to imposing more sanctions alone, and in coordination with our partners."

The Treasury said that till date, it had targetted nearly 1000 individuals, entities connected to terrorism and terrorist financing by the Iranian regime and proxies including Hamas and Hezbollah.

"In addition to the funds Hamas receives from Iran, its global portfolio of investments generates vast sums of revenue through its assets, estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars," the Treasury said.

Six of those who faced sanctions on Wednesday were associated with a Hamas "secret investment portfolio."

These include Musa Muhammad Salim Dudin, who is a member of Hamas' Political Bureau, and also Abdelbasit Hamza Elhassan Mohamed Khair, a Sudan-based Hamas financier.

The US Treasury said that two "senior Hamas officials" were also targetted: Muhammad Ahmad 'Abd Al-Dayim Nasrallah, who is based in Qatar and Ayman Nofal, who was allegedly killed in an airstrike on Tuesday.

The department has also targetted Gaza-based virtual currency exchange. The Treasury has noted that Hamas has relied on virtual currency as well.
