The Israeli army assured that she would be assassinated this Saturday number of of Hamas’s armed wing, Raad Saad, in a drone bombing against his vehicle in Gaza. Even if the Islamist movement has not confirmed his death, it is in any case the objective of raising the visibility of Hamas in more than two months of truce. Health sources in the periphery report five deaths due to the bombing, which Hamas interpreted as a new demonstration of the government’s desire towards Benjamin Netanyahu to “strike and defeat the defense of the great fire through the escalation of its continued vulnerabilities”.
Israel justified it by saying Saad led Hamas’s attempts to reconstitute itself and plant explosives to ambush troops in the 58 percent of Gaza that the Israeli military controls at the base of the fire. The offices of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a statement saying they ordered the assassination after an explosive was dropped hours before the soldiers.
The army released aerial footage of the moment a drone-launched missile struck the last of three buses traveling in Rashid, on the road that connects Gaza from north to south, parallel to the coast. Later photographs taken from the ground show the car charred, with a blood stain on the ground. The Armed Forces were presented to Saad as the head of the Hamas militia’s arms production and one of the architects of the October 2023 attack, which left some 1,200 people dead and led to a two-year invasion with more than 70,000 Palestinian deaths.
While this was an exceptional attack, for its purpose, the Israeli army came to bombard Gaza every day in a vulnerability of high fire. These may be one-off attacks against what he describes as Hamas’s attempts to reorganize and rearm in the area it controls, despite its weakness. The bombings are particularly violent and prolonged when the army reports a previous ambush against its troops. This is what happened on October 28, killing more than two Palestinians, or on November 20, the 32nd. The majority, in both cases, were minors and women.
Since the architect of the permanent truce agreement, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, declared the “end of the war” in early October, Israeli drone, cannon, machine gun and tank fire have killed around 400 people in the tiny Palestinian fringe, according to hospital revenues. Three Israeli soldiers also died in surprise attacks carried out by Palestinian militiamen, according to the army.
