The State Department has a history of paying people for valuable information. Since 1984, when the Rewards for Justice Program was created, more than 125 people have received more than $250 million for what’s described as actionable information that helped resolve threats to U.S. national security.

The Israeli Defense Forces have already killed at least one top Hamas financier. The Jerusalem Post reported Subhi Ferwana was killed in an airstrike in December. Ferwana, along with his brother, helped funnel tens of millions of dollars through his company “Hamsat” to Hamas.

The Post reported that Hamas collects money from all over the world through laundering operations to avoid using international banks which are closely monitored.
