The Japanese government on Tuesday announced that it will sanction three senior members of Hamas to limit their ability to fund terrorism, a top government official said as quoted by media reports.

Tokyo’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said that the trio’s assets will be frozen and their payments and transactions will be sanctioned, according to Reuters.
