The presumed Israeli assassination of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran has shocked the terror group and sparked condemnation from countries and political entities affiliated with the terror group.
According to media reports, Haniyeh was killed by a rocket strike on his Tehran residence. The projectile was reportedly fired from outside of Iranian territory.
“Hamas declares to the great Palestinian people and the people of the Arab and Islamic nations and all the free people of the world, brother leader Ismail Ismail Haniyeh a martyr,” read a statement from Hamas confirming that Haniyeh was assassinated.
