Hamas Confirms Death of Senior Commander

HeadlineDec 15, 2025

Hamas has confirmed the death of senior commander Raed Saad, who was killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City Saturday that also killed another three Palestinians while injuring 25 others. In response, Hamas’s chief negotiator warned the assassination threatens the viability of the Gaza ceasefire, and called on President Trump to ensure Israel complies with terms of the October 10 truce. Gaza’s Government Media Office reports Israel has broken terms of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire at least 738 times since it took effect on October 10, killing at least 386 Palestinians, while severely restricting shipments of food, shelter, medicine, fuel and other basic goods into Gaza.
