$10m reward for information on top five Hamas backers.
The United States is offering a reward of up to $10million (£7.8 million) for intelligence on five key Hamas financiers.
The five men, all of whom have been designated terrorists in the past, are responsible for funnelling tens of millions of dollars to the group, the state department said.
It is the latest measure rolled out by Washington designed to starve Hamas of cash and foreign exchange.
The US is now appealing for intelligence on five of its major money men.
The most influential of the five is Abdelbasit Hamza Elhassan Khair, a dual Spanish-Sudanese national known as Hamza.
The state department said he has been involved in the transfer of almost $20 million (£15.7 million) to Hamas as the manager of its investment portfolio.
