IDFstriks Gaza City
The IDF said on Saturday it carried out major strikes in Gaza, adding more details would be made available later. The target of the attack reportedly was Raad Saad, fourth in commander in the Hamas military wing.
According to Hamas health officials said at least 42 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Al-Shati where 24 people were reported to have died and Al-Tuffah neighborhood where 18 people were said to be killed.
Images from Gaza show extensive damage to buildings.
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. 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.
There has thus far been no reporting on whether he survived the Israeli strike or if he was killed.
