Senior Hamas Commander Assassinated Amid Truce

The killing of Hamas' senior commander Raed Saed in an Israeli strike marks the most significant assassination since the Gaza ceasefire in October, confirmed by Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya.

Hamas' Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya confirmed on Sunday that Raed Saed, a senior commander of the Palestinian militant group, was killed in an Israeli strike.

This incident is the highest-profile assassination of a Hamas figure since a ceasefire deal in Gaza came into effect in October.

The death of Saed is likely to escalate tensions in the region, challenging the delicate truce that has been in place.
