The Norway born 23-year-old, who has signed a five-year contract with the Scottish champions, has played twice for his adopted country.
Tounekti only joined the Swedish top-flight club in February from Norwegian outfit Haugesund and leaves with Hammarby sitting second in the Allsvenskan after 22 games.
Rodgers told his club website "he will be a really exciting addition" to his squad.
"He will give us that real added attacking intent and I am sure he can make a big difference to us," he said.

He also spent time on loan to Ranheim from after joining Haugesund in 2022.
