The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly killed senior Hamas terrorist Ra’ad Sa’ad in Gaza City.

Military Intelligence Directorate sources confirmed the targeted killing. The photo provided is of Hamas military wing official Raad Saad.
The investigation faced limitations regarding sexual violence claims. Due to an inability to interview survivors in most cases, the investigation could not determine the full extent or reach of such crimes. One exception allowed for a single survivor interview. This constraint significantly impacted the ability to fully understand the nature of the alleged sexual violence.
According to Palestinian activist Ahmed Fouad al-Khatib, Hamas intentionally hid infant formula and baby food in warehouses within Gaza during the height of the hunger crisis. Al-Khatib asserted that Hamas aimed to exacerbate the humanitarian disaster and leverage the situation to pressure Israel and disrupt aid distribution, particularly by the GHF, an American aid foundation. This alleged strategy included blocking aid routes and threatening Gazans to amplify the starvation narrative. International media coverage, including reports from The New York Times, highlighted the severe malnutrition and suffering, which put pressure on Israel to increase aid.
Hamas chief rejects key points of Trump peace plan, which, well, honestly, is no surprise at all, is it? It’s like, you’ve seen the movie before, you know the ending. Anyone who’s been following this whole saga for any length of time just shrugs and thinks, “Yep, expected that.” The thing is, this rejection underscores precisely why Hamas can’t, and shouldn’t, have any say in the future of Gaza. Their fundamental aim, the thing that drives them, is the destruction of Israel. And that’s a goal that’s completely incompatible with any sort of lasting peace. They would rather see every Palestinian killed, than have peace.… Continue reading
Beneath Beit Hanun, the IDF discovered a vast underground Hamas complex, a clandestine city used for terror operations. This network included thousands of structures, serving as weapons storage, command centers, and operational bases for armed terrorists. Shockingly, some of these facilities were located within an elementary school and connected by tunnels running under civilian residences, highlighting Hamas’s exploitation of the civilian population. This discovery further reveals the group’s tactics.
On Wednesday afternoon, the IDF responded to a ceasefire violation by Hamas, who fired upon Israeli troops near Khan Younis, by launching airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. The strikes, guided by intelligence, targeted areas like Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, resulting in the deaths of a Hamas battalion commander and a senior member of their naval operations. Prior to the exchange, an additional incident occurred in northern Gaza, where Israeli troops killed a terrorist crossing the border. While Hamas consolidates power and reestablishes order in areas outside Israeli control, many are welcoming the decrease in crime, and even viewing Hamas as a pragmatic force.
Arab sources have revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood misappropriated half a billion dollars intended for Gaza. This alleged theft involved funds collected through donations. The source quoted Farghali as pointing out the Muslim Brotherhood’s history of exploiting Gaza and Palestine for financial gain. The misappropriated funds were intended to aid the displacement of Palestinians, as seen in camps such as the one in Gaza City on November 14, 2025.
A fifth suspect linked to a Hamas terror network has been arrested in Germany, expanding the scope of an investigation into planned attacks across Europe. The individual is accused of supplying weapons for these attacks. This arrest follows previous detentions and highlights the ongoing efforts to dismantle the Hamas network and prevent potential acts of violence on the continent. The investigation is still ongoing.
The Prime Minister’s Office announced Sunday that the body received was confirmed to be that of Lt. Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier killed in the 2014 Gaza war. His body was held in Gaza for over a decade, and his family has long campaigned for his return, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to not abandoning soldiers. The body was handed over to the International Red Cross as part of a ceasefire agreement, culminating in Goldin being buried in Israel. With his return, four deceased hostages, including three Israelis and a Thai citizen, remain in Gaza.
