Chen Elrov, 38, a mother of three from central Israel, has been identified by Israeli security authorities as the Hamas operative responsible for managing the terrorist group's finances inside Israel after the October 7, 2023 massacre. She was arrested about a month ago at a money exchange in central Israel, according to an announcement cleared for publication on Friday.
The identification was previously reported by Israeli media under a gag order. The official clearance confirms those reports. Elrov is alleged to have handled financial transfers and funding for Hamas operations within Israel.
The case underscores ongoing Israeli efforts to dismantle Hamas's financial infrastructure inside the country. The identity of the suspect was previously under a publication ban, which was lifted Friday.
