The European Union has expanded sanctions targeting the militant groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to include members of Hamas' Politburo.

The bloc said Friday that it had listed ten members of Hamas' top political leadership body as subject to a travel ban and asset freeze, prohibiting making funds or economic resources available to those named, either directly or indirectly.

Those included in the list are Nizar Mohammed Awadallah, Mohammad Nazzal, Husam Badran, Khaled Mashal, Khalil Al-Hayya, Muhammad Ismail Darwish, Zaher Jabarin, Abu Khalil Al-Quds, Fathi Hamad and Moussa Abu Marzouk.
