اغتيال القيادي البارز في حركة حماس إسماعيل هنية
July 31, 2024 - إسماعيل هنية (62 عاماً)، رئيس المكتب السياسي لحركة حماس، اغتيل في العاصمة الإيرانية طهران.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed the death of Haniyeh, hours after he attended a swearing in ceremony for the country's new president, and said it was investigating.
His death will be seen as a major coup by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition, which vowed to eliminate Hamas leaders after the group’s Oct 7 attack.
The attack is hugely embarrassing for Iran, and presents Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian with the challenge of how to respond.
