The Israeli military said it killed a senior Hamas commander in a strike in Gaza City on Dec. 13, amid an ongoing cease-fire in the territory.
In a post on X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they successfully targeted Ra’ad Sa’ad, whom they identified as the head of weapons production for Hamas and an architect of the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.
