The Israeli military said it killed senior Hamas commander Raad Saad, one of the architects of the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, in a strike on a car in Gaza City on Saturday, APA reports citing Reuters.
It was the highest-profile assassination of a senior Hamas figure since a Gaza ceasefire deal came into effect in October.
The attack on the car in Gaza City killed five people and wounded at least 25 others, according to Gaza health authorities. There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas or medics that Saed was among the dead.
