JERUSALEM/Gaza, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) — The Israeli army said Saturday it struck a senior Hamas militant in Gaza City.
According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces, the strike was carried out in cooperation with the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet).
According to Israeli state television channel Kan TV, the militant believed to have been killed in the attack is Ra'ad Saad, one of the founders of Hamas's paramilitary wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and the head of Hamas's production headquarters, which is responsible for its own production of rocket launchers, missiles, and anti-tank weapons.
According to Kan TV, Israel had previously made attempts to eliminate R. Saad, which were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle traveling near the Nabulsi junction on Al-Rashid Street, west of Gaza City, killing four people and injuring several others on Saturday, Palestinian medical sources and eyewitnesses said.
According to a Hamas source who asked to remain anonymous, the strike took place in a Hamas-controlled area and is believed to have targeted a senior Palestinian militant inside the vehicle.
Despite the latest ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which took effect in October of this year, the Israeli side has continued to launch attacks on the Gaza Strip, which, according to health authorities in the Palestinian enclave, have so far killed more than 380 people and injured over 1,000 others. –0–
