Asesinan en Irán al lider de Hamas Ismail Haniyeh
July 31, 2024 - Ismail Haniyeh, de 62 años, jefe del ala política de Hamas, ha sido asesinado en la capital de Irán, Teherán.
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.
