Hamas’s fourth most senior military commander in Gaza, Raad Saad, has been killed by an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza on Saturday, according to local media.

The Israel Defence Forces struck a Hamas site in Gaza City’s Al-Shati camp on Saturday. Saad’s fate remains unknown following the attack, though Channel 12 News cited Arabic reports which suggested he had been killed.

There has been no confirmation from Israel or Hamas.

The head of Hamas's Operations Division, Saad is believed to possess extensive knowledge regarding Hamas’s rocket arsenal and tunnel infrastructure.
