The US Treasury Department has announced new sanctions against 10 Hamas members, operatives and financial facilitators, including a key commander within the group.
The sanctions target individuals based both in Gaza and elsewhere, including Sudan, Turkey, Algeria and Qatar.
"The United States is taking swift and decisive action to target Hamas' financiers and facilitators following its brutal and unconscionable massacre of Israeli citizens, including children," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.
The announcement coincided with President Joe Biden's visit to Tel Aviv for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others.
"The US Treasury has a long history of effectively disrupting terror finance, and we will not hesitate to use our tools against Hamas," Yellen said.
The Treasury said its targets included "a secret Hamas investment portfolio" involving a financial facilitator tied to Iran and a Gaza-based virtual cryptocurrency exchange.
