On December 13, the Israeli Defense Forces announced the elimination of Raed Saad, one of Hamas's senior military leaders and head of the weapons manufacturing unit. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Israel accuses him of being one of the main planners of the attack against the country on October 7. According to information provided by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Raed Saad led efforts to enhance Hamas's military capabilities, produce new combat equipment, and restore resources lost during the war.
He is mentioned as a key figure within Hamas's military infrastructure. According to intelligence from Israel's security service, Shin Bet, Hamas fighters have attempted to resume armed activities in recent weeks.
In particular, they tried to use improvised explosive devices against Israeli military forces. These incidents have been regarded as violations of the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
