Israel strikes Gaza, targets Hamas official

Israel announced the killing of Raed Saad, a senior Hamas commander responsible for weapons production, during a strike in Gaza, which also resulted in four other fatalities and injuries to passers-by. Saad had led brigades during Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel and was considered one of its most wanted figures, with previous attempts on his life. The attack occurred amid a complex geopolitical context, including ongoing U.S. efforts for peace and disarmament of Hamas. President Trump is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss future plans for Gaza governance.
