Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' top political leader, has been assassinated in Tehran, Iran. According to a Hamas statement, Haniyeh "died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran," where he was attending the inauguration of Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. Iran's paramilitary guard, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, confirmed Haniyeh had been targeted and killed at his residence in Tehran, along with his bodyguards. Earlier in April, an Israeli strike killed three of Haniyeh's sons in Gaza.

So far there has been no direct comment from Israel. The raid on Haniyeh's residence in Tehran took place hours after Israel targeted a top Hezbollah commander in southern Beirut.

    Since October 7th, he has been a dead man walking, and it is also showcase of the capability of Israeli intelligence.
  • @user-ip4py1oo7o
    The real person responsible for October 7th. Why is he in Iran? Proving that Iran is the real backer.
  • @user-ly2pz1vt5r
    Israel has shown that they also can target Iran's Supreme leader. Iran won't dare to retaliate using reason " don't want to escalate the war" ... Last April Iran hit Israel with 300+ missiles + drones because they got permission from US.
  • Don’t be mad at Israel. Be mad at Iran’s terrible air defense capabilities

    Does Allah love Gaza or Israel? It always seems like Allah doesn't really love Gaza types. Repent as soon as possible.
