Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh killed in attack on his residence in Iran

Tehran: In a major victory for Israel, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in a strike targeting his residence in Tehran, the Palestinian militant group said in a statement on Wednesday. The group mourned the death of Haniyeh, who was killed in “a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran”.

Haniyeh resided in Qatar and was the tough-talking face of Hamas’ international diplomacy as war with Israel has raged on in Gaza for over nine months, resulting in widespread death and destruction in the besieged territory. The 62-year-old leader was the chief of Hamas’ political bureau and a long-time leader of the militant group, designated as a “specially designated” global terrorist by the United States.
