Hamas High-Ranking Commander Killed in Israeli Airstrike
(MENAFN) Hamas has confirmed the death of a high-ranking military leader in an Israeli airstrike that struck Gaza City, marking another deadly breach of the fragile truce agreement.
Senior commander Raed Saad was killed Saturday when Israeli forces targeted a vehicle in western Gaza City, an attack that claimed four Palestinian lives total. The Israeli army acknowledged conducting the strike specifically aimed at the Hamas official.
Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas chief in Gaza, publicly verified Saad's death during a televised address Sunday. Saad had survived multiple Israeli assassination attempts before succumbing to Saturday's aerial assault.
The lethal operation occurred despite an active ceasefire arrangement that commenced October 10 across the embattled territory.
Israeli forces have systematically breached the truce terms, with documented violations resulting in at least 391 Palestinian deaths and 1,063 additional injuries since the ceasefire took effect, according to reports.
The broader conflict, which erupted in October 2023, has exacted a devastating toll on Gaza's civilian population. More than 70,600 Palestinians have been killed—the majority women and children—while over 171,100 have sustained injuries in Israeli military operations that have persisted throughout the supposed cessation of hostilities.
The assassination of Saad underscores the tenuous nature of the ceasefire framework and raises fresh questions about the viability of maintaining any lasting halt to violence in the region.
