The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas confirmed on Wednesday the death of its leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in an attack attributed to Israel in Tehran, where he was on an official visit.
«The leader brother, martyr fighter Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the movement, died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran, after participating in the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian president“the group confirmed in a statement.
Israeli authorities have not yet confirmed any attack in Tehran, nor the death of Haniyeh, who was in the Iranian capital yesterday for the inauguration of the country’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.
«Do not consider as dead those who have been killed in the way of Allah, but they are alive with their Lord, receiving sustenance.“the group said about the death of Haniyeh, “number one” of the Hamas political bureau, who lived in self-exile in Qatar.
«It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom“The group is responsible for the October 7 attack on Israeli soil, which left some 1,200 dead and more than 250 kidnapped, and which led to the current war in the Gaza Strip, where more than 39,400 Palestinians have died.
The news of Haniyeh’s death comes just hours after Israel confirmed it had killed the military chief of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, Fuad Shukr, “the highest-ranking military chief” of the group and a close adviser to the organization’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.
