The US State Department is offering rewards up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of Hamas's financial networks. The bounty targets five Hamas financiers based in Sudan, Turkey, and Qatar who have funneled tens of millions to the militant group. They were previously designated as global terrorists by the US. The rewards aim to cut off revenue streams funding Hamas's violent actions against Israel. Over 1,200 Israelis and 22,600 Gazans have died in recent clashes. Any details on Hamas donors, front companies, or financial schemes would qualify for payouts. It follows four rounds of US sanctions on Hamas since fighting escalated in October.
