An image released by the IDF earlier this evening of some of the 358 confirmed terror operatives captured by troops at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital apparently shows that Raad Saad is among those detained.

Saad has been previously reported to be the chief of Hamas operations.

In a press conference earlier this evening, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were “very significant” senior Hamas commanders who were captured at Shifa, but that their identities could not immediately be disclosed due to their ongoing interrogations.
