US EditionGaza Strike Kills Hamas Commander and Four Others Amid Fragile Ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes amid ceasefire killed senior Hamas commander and four others, including a teenager, marking the largest ceasefire breach in October, officials said.
- On Saturday, the Israeli military said it killed senior Hamas commander Raed Saed in a deliberate airstrike on a vehicle driving along the al-Rashid coastal road in Gaza City.
- Under the US-brokered ceasefire that came into effect on Oct 10, Israel said Saad was `operating tore-establish Hamas's capabilities` and led weapons production while troops remained behind the Yellow Line controlling over half the territory.
- Civil defence said a civilian jeep-type vehicle was targeted near the Nabulsi roundabout and charred bodies were taken to Al-Shifa hospital; the hospital confirmed arrival of five bodies and more than 25 injured.
- Several other fatalities resulted from 13 building collapses caused by heavy rain and strong winds, while Storm Byron killed at least 16 Palestinians, worsening risks for Gaza's inhabitants.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz said Saad was `one of the architects` of the October 7, 2023 attack, and sources confirmed his death to AFP while Hamas has yet to comment, with his funeral scheduled for Sunday.
