Israel targets senior Hamas official in deadly Gaza strike

14-12-2025

The Israeli military and security agency Shin Bet announced that they had killed Raed Saad, a senior Hamas commander, in a strike on a vehicle inside Gaza on Saturday. Saad was the head of weapons production for Hamas's military wing, the Qassam Brigades, and was considered one of the most prominent Qassam commanders. The strike also killed three other people, including Saad's aide, and injured multiple passers-by. The Israeli military claimed that Saad was responsible for the deaths of many soldiers killed in the Gaza Strip due to explosive devices. The strike occurred on the Palestinian-controlled side of the Yellow Line, which has divided Gaza since a ceasefire took hold in October. The incident is part of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with the diplomatic focus shifting to the next stage of US President Donald Trump's peace plan, which includes the disarmament of Hamas and the redevelopment of Gaza.

The Israeli military has announced that it killed Raed Saad, a senior Hamas commander in Gaza, who was involved in the October 7, 2023, attack that sparked a two-year-long war. Hamas did not confirm Saad's death and claimed that a civilian vehicle was struck outside Gaza City, calling it a 'brazen criminal breach' of the US-led ceasefire. The Israeli military stated that Saad was engaged in rebuilding the terrorist organization, violating the ceasefire. The strike killed four people and wounded three others, according to reports. The conflict has resulted in at least 386 Palestinian deaths since the ceasefire, with Israel claiming it is retaliating against militant attacks. Israel has demanded that Hamas return the remains of the final hostage, Ran Gvili, as a condition for moving to the next phase of the ceasefire.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Saturday that it had killed Ra'ad Sa'ad, a senior Hamas official and one of the masterminds behind the October 7, 2023, attacks.

The IDF stated that Sa'ad's death significantly degrades Hamas' ability to reestablish its capabilities and that he was responsible for the deaths of many soldiers killed in Gaza by explosives manufactured by the Weapons Production Headquarters. Sa'ad previously served as the Gaza Brigade commander and was considered one of the highest-ranking Hamas members remaining in Gaza.

Syria soldiers chant anti-Israel slogans as minister warns 'war inevitable' | Fox News

14-12-2025

Syrian soldiers chanted anti-Israel slogans during a military parade in Damascus, prompting Israel's minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, to warn that 'war is inevitable.' The chant included phrases such as 'Gaza, Gaza, our rallying cry' and 'We rise against you, enemy, we rise.' The event occurred as Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, attended the parade, marking the first anniversary of Bashar al-Assad's fall. The US is pushing for a security deal between Syria and Israel, with US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, stating that Damascus is not interested in aggression toward Israel. However, Chikli expressed skepticism, comparing the Syrian regime to ISIS due to its violent actions. The situation is complex, with Iran and its proxies attempting to disrupt potential agreements between Syria and Israel.
