Gaza, MINA – Four Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City on Saturday, in what local sources describe as a new violation of the ongoing ceasefire agreement.
A medical source told Anadolu that the fatalities occurred when an airstrike hit a civilian car on Al-Rashid Street west of Gaza City.
The Israeli army claimed the attack targeted and killed Raed Saad, a senior Hamas member described by Israeli Army Radio as the “second-ranking figure” in Hamas within the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stated the strike was a response to a bomb explosion that injured two Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza.
Hamas condemned the attack, calling it a “criminal violation of the ceasefire agreement” and accused Israel of deliberately seeking to undermine the truce. The group urged mediators and guarantor countries to take action against these violations.
