Ismail Haniyeh, the chairman of Hamas’s political bureau, was killed while attending the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the Islamist party said.
Ismail Haniyeh, the chairman of Hamas ’s political bureau, was killed while visiting Iran on Wednesday, the Palestinian militant group announced in a statement.
Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who won a general election in July after former President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash earlier this year. The Islamist group said Haniyeh was killed in a “treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran,” but few details about his death have been released.
Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also confirmed the attack, and said more details would be released later. Haniyeh was attending the inauguration alongside other leaders in Iran’s Axis of Resistance, the Islamic Republic’s coalition of friendly governments like Syria and armed groups in countries including Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon.Haniyeh’s death comes only hours after Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s top military commander, was killed in an airstrike conducted in a suburb of Beirut.
