Israeli Airstrike Reportedly Targets Hamas No. 4 Terrorist Raad Saad in Gaza
“The IDF said it struck two Hamas military sites in Gaza City, and would provide further information soon.”
Israel on Saturday targeted senior Hamas terrorist commander, Raad Saad, in an airstrike in northern Gaza, Israeli media reports suggest. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged hitting multiple Hamas targets in Gaza, but did not confirmed if Saad, Hamas’s number four terrorist, was targeted in the strikes.
Israeli “fighter jets and additional aircraft struck numerous terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including armed terrorists, weapons storage facilities, and additional terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF said in a press release Saturday.

The targeted Hamas commander is the senior-most Gaza-based terrorist to be targeted since the IDF eliminated Hamas’s number three Marwan Issa in early March.
Saad is probable the most-wanted Hamas terrorist in Gaza after Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and top terror commander Mohamad Deif. “Saad is part of the Hamas senior command and was described as one of the shadow men in the terror group, much like Marwn Issa who was killed last much in an IDF strike,” the Israeli news Website YNET reported Saturday. “He was part of the “quartet of commanders who oversaw the war in the Hamas tunnel system and worked closely with Issa, Mohamad Deif, head of the terror group’s military wing and Yahya Sinwar.”
The Times of Israel covered the reports suggesting the IDF targeted Hamas commander Saad:
Unverified Hebrew-language media reports, citing “reports in Gaza,” claim that the target of the IDF strike in Gaza City was senior Hamas commander Raad Saad.
Saad has been previously reported to be the chief of Hamas operations.
He was thought to have been at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital when the IDF raided the medical center in March, although he was not found there at the time.
The IDF said it struck two Hamas military sites in Gaza City, and would provide further information soon.
Lebanon: Israeli drone strike eliminates Hamas weapons supplier
The reports of Israel targeting senior Gaza terrorist comes hours after the IDF confirmed eliminating Hamas’s weapons supplier in a drone strike in Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon.
A prominent Hamas and al-Jama'a al-Islamiyya operative was killed in the airstrike in Lebanon's Western Beqaa District a short while ago, the military says.

“An IAF aircraft conducted a precise strike in the Beqaa area in Lebanon in order to eliminate the terrorist Ayman Ratma, a central terror operative responsible for weapons supplies for the Hamas and Jamaa Islamiya terrorist organizations in Lebanon, as well as the development of terrorist infrastructure in the area,” the IDF confirmed in a press release.
“Ayman Ratma was eliminated due to his involvement in the promotion and execution of terrorist activities against Israel in the immediate future, as well as his involvement in advancing terrorist activity against Israeli civilians,” the IDF statement noted.
IDF continues operations against Gaza terror fighters, infrastructure
The Israeli armed forces were conducting operations against Hamas terror targets across Gaza. “IDF troops continue to operate in the central Gaza Strip, striking and eliminating several armed terrorists and dismantling terrorist infrastructure in the area,” the military disclosed Saturday. ” During one of the strikes, the troops identified a number of armed terrorists in the area, and an IAF aircraft then struck and eliminated the terrorists.”

Right through the sunroof!
Was just coming here to say the same thing. Kinda puts an exclamation point on “precision strike.”
Apparently the HE round didn’t fit in the front seat.

Israel should keep doing what they need to do for as long as necessary. They should never accept Oct 7 attacks as the “price for peace”.
Ben Stiller says the war in gaza must end.
Same guy who several months ago flew to promote the war there. Took photos with Zelenskyy etc
So Ben the war in Ukraine must continue?
And the war in Sudan must continue as well? Ben?
And the wars in Nigeria and Chad must continue? Or must they end as well, I’m confused.
And what about the on again off again wars between Armenia and Azerbaijan? Ben, must those wars end? Or should they continue?
How about the Syrian civil war going on over ten years with mass slaughter, rapes, and no end in sight? Tens of thousands killed and displaced. Ben, should that war end?
Ben, how about the Chinese attacks on Phillipines and threats to conquer Taiwan? Must those acts of war threats of war must they end?
Ben, we the unenlightened middling classes who’ve never worked in tv or movies -we seek your guidance before you retreat to your mansion w 24/7 armed security.
Ben Stiller knows which wars must continue and which wars must end, and before he writes his next comedy sketch, I wonder if he’s planned a tete-a-tete with Sinwar to let Hamas know that the war in gaza must end
Ps Ben do you have any plans for any of the rape-babies? What is it that you have decided must happen with them, Ben? And their Israeli moms? Hey. Ben how many more months and years must those Israeli girls remain enslaved in gaza?
Please post this everywhere you can.
Hey Ben just shut up. And tell all of your playactor colleagues too.
So Saad.
