The US has announced its fourth round of sanctions since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Al Jazeera reports.

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said eight Hamas officials and facilitators who represent the group’s interests abroad and manage its finances are targeted in this latest round of penalties.

“We closely coordinated this action with the United Kingdom, which is concurrently targeting several key Hamas officials with sanctions. The United States and our allies and partners are steadfast in our commitment to dismantling networks that support Hamas funding streams as part of our continuous effort to prevent and deter its terrorist activity,” Miller said in a statement.
