In successive statements, the Israeli army announced it had targeted two operatives it said transferred millions of shekels from Iran and Turkey to the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and said it destroyed a weapons depot in the central Gaza Strip. A report carried by the Hebrew newspaper Maariv specified the two men's identities and the place and time of their killing, while Bloomberg quoted the army with a different transliteration of one of the names.
One source focused on the brief military statement and the released video without names or timing, another provided the names, affiliations and the dates and locations of the killings along with describing the weapons-depot claim as false, while the third led with the funding of Hamas from Iran and Turkey and cited Bloomberg for one of the operatives' names.
