Ismail Haniyeh was killed on Wednesday morning in Tehran, the capital of Iran, according to confirmation from Hamas and the Revolutionary Guards of Iran.
Despite the widespread belief that Israel was the strike’s perpetrator, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration has declined to acknowledge responsibility for the death and stated it will not comment on it.
Mr. Netanyahu stated that Israel has recently dealt severe blows to Iran’s proxies, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and would retaliate violently to any attack, without bringing up the death of Haniyeh.
“We are prepared for any scenario and we will stand united and determined against any threat,” he stated.
whatever action against us, from whatever source, would come at a very high price from Israel.
However, Mr. Netanyahu applauded the IDF for striking Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut, Lebanon, as payback for a missile attack that killed twelve youths in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
