Israel Says It Killed 7 October Architect Raed Saed

The strike killed five and wounded 25, targeting Saed for reestablishing Hamas' weapons production and retaliation for an attack injuring two Israeli soldiers, officials said.

  • On Saturday, the Israeli military said it killed senior Hamas commander Raed Saed in a Gaza City car strike, with Netanyahu and Katz calling it retaliation for an attack that injured two soldiers.
  • The Israeli military described Raed Saed as a 7 October, 2023 attack architect who led Hamas' Gaza City battalion and worked in recent months to rebuild Hamas' weapons manufacturing.
  • There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas or medics that Raed Saed was among the dead, though Gaza health authorities reported five killed and at least 25 wounded in the strike.
  • Despite the truce, violence has continued and casualties persisted as Hamas condemned the strike as a ceasefire violation and Israel says three Israeli soldiers have been killed since the 10 October ceasefire began.
  • Broadly, Gaza health officials report the offensive's death toll, saying Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed more than 70,700 Palestinians, while Palestinian health authorities report at least 386 post-truce deaths.
