The assassination of Hamas political wing chief Ismail Haniyeh and one of his commandos in an attack in Tehran has sparked international outrage. Hamas claims Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli air strike on his house in Iran’s capital.
The attack came just a day after Israel eliminated senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Lebanon, blaming him for a deadly attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
How Haniyeh was assassinated?
Haniyeh was allegedly killed in an Israeli attack after attending the Iranian president’s swearing-in ceremony. Hamas vows to continue its path despite the loss.
Haniyeh’s tough image softened in international diplomacy, but his tragic history with Israeli attacks prevails, signaling a deep-rooted conflict.
How Shukr was assassinated?
The Israeli drone strike targeting Shukr in Beirut adds to escalating tensions, with Israel’s retaliation for the deadly attack in the Golan Heights sparking more violence between the parties.
Shukr’s role in Hezbollah’s weaponry and the US accusing him of orchestrating a deadly bombing in Beirut highlight the complexities of the Middle East conflict.
