US sanctions target Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubaida and drone program leaders
The United States on Friday issued sanctions aimed at a Hamas spokesperson and leaders of the group's drone unit, the Treasury Department said.
The European Union is simultaneously imposing sanctions targeting Hamas, the department said in a statement.
The US sanctions targeted Hudhayfa Samir ‘Abdallah al-Kahlut (al-Kahlut) also known as “Abu Ubaida” who has been the spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (al-Qassam Brigades), the military wing of Hamas in Gaza, since at least 2007, the department said.
The sanctions also targeted William Abu Shanab (Abu Shanab), commander of the Lebanon-based al-Shimali unit, Bara’a Hasan Farhat (Farhat) assistant to Abu Shanab, the commander of the al-Shimali unit, and Khalil Muhammad ‘Azzam (‘Azzam), an intelligence official.
“Today’s joint action reinforces our continued, collective focus on disrupting Hamas’s ability to conduct further attacks, including through cyber warfare and the production of UAVs.”
Brian Nelson, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and Financial intelligence said, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles.
"Treasury, in coordination with our allies and partners, will continue to target Hamas’s facilitation networks wherever they operate, including in the cyber domain," he said.
As a result of the sanctions, all property and interests in property of the designated people that are in the United States or in the possession or control of US persons are blocked and must be reported to Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
