Summary:
The Israeli military reported killing Raed Saed, a senior Hamas commander involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, in a strike on a car in Gaza City on December 13, 2025. The Israeli government stated Saed was targeted in response to a Hamas attack that injured two soldiers earlier that day. According to Gaza health authorities, the strike killed five people and wounded at least 25 others, but there was no immediate confirmation from Hamas about Saed's status. Hamas condemned the attack as a violation of the ceasefire agreement that began on October 10, which had allowed Palestinians to return to Gaza City and increased aid flows.

Scripture: Psalm 83:2-4
"For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones. They have said, 'Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; That the name of Israel be remembered no more.'"
Commentary:
Events like this targeted strike mark the ongoing reality of open hostility in Gaza, biblical territory at the heart of prophetic history. There’s no denying the fear and uncertainty felt by civilians as violence flares and ceasefires unravel. The pursuit and targeting of those responsible for attacks is a grim reminder of cycles that persist on land given by God to Israel—a fact Scripture treats with unique gravity.

Prophetic Trend:
Targeted violence and reprisal in Gaza point to persistent prophetic patterns of conflict and unrest over Israel’s covenant land.
