Israel Targets Senior Hamas Commander in Gaza Strike
The Israeli military attacked a car in Gaza City that was carrying a senior Hamas commander named Raed Saed.
Raed Saed was one of the leaders behind the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.
The strike killed four people, but it's not clear if Raed Saed was one of them.
This attack happened after a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which has allowed some aid to enter Gaza and people to return to their homes.
However, there have still been some violent incidents since the ceasefire.
The war started when Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing many people and taking hostages.
Since then, many Palestinians in Gaza have also been killed in Israel's retaliatory offensive.
The Israeli military targeted a senior Hamas commander, Raed Saed, in a strike in Gaza City.
The strike killed four people, but it is unclear if Raed Saed was among the casualties.
Raed Saed was described as a key figure in the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and a leader in Hamas' armed wing.
The attack occurred after a ceasefire deal that has allowed some aid to enter Gaza and people to return to their homes.
Since the ceasefire, there have been ongoing incidents of violence, with Palestinian health authorities reporting 386 Palestinian casualties and Israel reporting three soldier deaths.
