Trump says US to investigate Israel's assassination of Hamas official as ceasefire violation
The US is examining whether Israel violated a Gaza ceasefire by assassinating a senior Hamas official, President Donald Trump said on Monday.
Raad Saad was killed alongside three others on Saturday when his car was targeted near al-Nabulsi square in western Gaza City, according to Israeli media reports.
Saad was a senior member of al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing. He was said to be second in rank only to the group's latest military chief, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, according to Reuters.
Israel has repeatedly violated a ceasefire that was signed on 10 October and guaranteed by Egypt, Qatar and the US.
