Summary:
The Israeli military reported killing senior Hamas commander Raed Saed in a strike on a car in Gaza City, targeting him in response to a Hamas attack that injured two Israeli soldiers. Saed, described as a high-ranking member involved in weapons production and considered the second-in-command of Hamas’ armed wing, was one of the architects of the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel. The strike killed five people and wounded at least 25 others, according to Gaza health authorities, though there was no immediate confirmation of Saed's death from Hamas. Hamas condemned the attack as a violation of the October 10 ceasefire but did not indicate whether Saed was harmed or threaten retaliation.
