Israel claims martyred senior Hamas commander

TEHRAN, Dec. 13 (MNA) – The Israeli occupying regime claimed on Saturday to have martyred Qassam Brigades commander Raed Saad in a strike in Gaza Stripe.

Saad was targeted while driving along the Rashid coastal road. He was killed alongside three others. The strike marks an apparent Israeli violation of the ceasefire, according to Times of Israel.

Saad served as chief of Hamas’s weapons manufacturing headquarters and is considered only second to the group’s latest military chief, Izz al-Din Haddad.

Roya News reported that Raed Saad is widely described as one of the most influential figures within the Qassam Brigades and is often referred to in 'Israeli' reports as the “shadow man” of Hamas’ military leadership. Some 'Israeli' assessments describe him as the fourth-ranking figure in the armed wing, while others identify him as the deputy head of Hamas’ military wing.

Saad is considered one of the founding members of the Qassam Brigades and has a long history within Hamas’ military structure.
