On July 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated individuals and entities involved in Hamas-related financial networks. As part of this OFAC crypto sanctions action, seven TRON addresses were added to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) entry for Zaid Issam Ahmed Al-Jebouri, who was designated under the Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) program and linked to El-Kahira for General Trading. According to Treasury, El-Kahira provided banking services involving both fiat and cryptocurrencies and transferred funds for Hamas.
The seven sanctioned TRON addresses are now part of Al-Jebouri's official SDN listing, giving compliance teams a clear, directly attributed set of on-chain identifiers to screen against.

This OFAC update added digital asset identifiers directly to a designated individual's SDN record rather than flagging them through inferred exposure. Because the attribution comes straight from OFAC, the seven TRON addresses inherit Al-Jebouri's full sanctions status the moment the entry is published. For any institution with digital asset exposure, that makes the addresses immediately relevant to sanctions screening and transaction monitoring obligations.
Scorechain's database has been automatically updated, allowing users to immediately monitor exposure to the designated addresses under the unified entity name: Zaid Issam Ahmed Al-Jebouri.
No manual action is required to bring the new identifiers into your screening environment. The addresses are grouped under a single entity, so exposure can be assessed against the individual rather than against seven disconnected wallets.
OFAC directly attributes all seven addresses to the same designated individual, creating a unified sanctions-screening set rather than separate inferred exposures. Because the attribution is direct, the addresses should be treated according to their OFAC status without making assumptions about balances, historical volume, counterparties, or fund flows.
The primary compliance implication is immediate screening and historical lookback across all seven addresses, with enhanced due diligence for any direct or indirect exposure identified once Scorechain analytics become available.
Compliance teams should:
The designation carries secondary sanctions risk, which makes it relevant well beyond U.S.-only screening obligations. Non-U.S. institutions that transact with the designated addresses could face exposure of their own, so the update should be factored into global sanctions programs rather than treated as a domestic-only concern.
For any institution with digital asset exposure, the practical takeaway is straightforward: screen the seven addresses now, run a historical lookback, and monitor for future activity under the unified Al-Jebouri entity.
OFAC added seven TRON addresses to the SDN entry for Zaid Issam Ahmed Al-Jebouri.
He was designated under the Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) program pursuant to counter-terrorism authorities and linked to El-Kahira for General Trading.
Yes. The designation carries secondary sanctions risk, so non-U.S. institutions that transact with the addresses may also face exposure.
Scorechain has automatically updated its database. You can screen and run a historical lookback against all seven addresses under the unified Al-Jebouri entity and set the Risk Indicator to Sanction List.
