Text: Ra’ad Sa’ad, Head of the Weapons Production Headquarters of Hamas’ Military Wing and One of the Architects of the Brutal October 7th Massacre Sa’ad was one of the last remaining veteran senior militants in the Gaza Strip and a close associate of Marwan Issa, the deputy head of Hamas’ military wing. He held several senior positions and was a central figure within the organization’s military leadership. He was responsible for the deaths of many soldiers through explosive devices manufactured by Hamas’ weapons production units during the war. In recent months, Sa’ad played a leading role in Hamas’ military wing, including direct involvement in violating the ceasefire agreement. He also oversaw the continued production of weapons in the Gaza Strip during the ceasefire period. His elimination significantly degrades Hamas’ ability to reestablish its capabilities. Israel said to hope killing of Raad Saad doesn’t delay return of last hostage’s body [IsraelTimes] Jerusalem pushing US to press Hamas to hand over remains of Ran Gvili after assassination of terror group’s Gaza No. 2, who reportedly rarely emerged aboveground. In a joint statement on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Saad was killed “in response to the activation of a Hamas explosive device that wounded our forces today in the Yellow Zone of the Gaza Strip.” They added that the Hamas commander “had been engaged in restoring the terror organization and in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel, as well as rebuilding an attack force, in blatant violation of the ceasefire rules and Hamas’s commitments to respect President [Donald] Trump’s plan.” IDF says it killed terrorist who crossed Gaza ceasefire line [IsraelTimes] The IDF says it killed a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north earlier today. According to the military, the operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade “in a way that posed an immediate threat.” The Israeli Air Force then struck and “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the IDF adds. Palestinian media reported earlier that one person was killed by Israeli fire in the Jabalia area. Two reservists lightly wounded by explosives in southern Gaza, IDF says [IsraelTimes] Two reservist soldiers were lightly wounded by an explosive device in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, the military says. According to the IDF, the bomb exploded while soldiers were working to clear the area of terror infrastructure. They were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army says. The IDF does not link the incident to the strike on top Hamas commander Raad Saad in Gaza City — which took place several hours later. The military said the target of the strike “had been involved in efforts to restore and manufacture the group’s weapons,” but has not explicitly claimed that his actions are a violation of the truce. Teen said seriously wounded by IDF in Gaza City coastal area [IsraelTimes] A Palestinian was seriously wounded by IDF fire in Gaza City’s al-Sudaniya area, Al Jazeera reports, citing a source in the city’s Shifa Hospital. Palestinian media gives his age as 17. The Sudaniya area is located along the coast in northwestern Gaza City, on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line. The IDF does not immediately comment. Palestinian said killed by IDF fire in north Gaza’s Jabalia [IsraelTimes] A Palestinian was killed by IDF gunfire in north Gaza’s Jabalia, Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital says. He is identified in Palestinian media as Mohammed Sabri Al-Adham, 19. According to WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, he was killed in the Nazla area of Jabalia, on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line. The IDF does not immediately comment. |
