Good afternoon. Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, has been killed in Iran. Hamas blamed Israel for Haniyeh’s death, which one official described as a “grave escalation”. The Israeli military wouldn’t comment on Haniyeh’s death.
A senior Hamas official reportedly said the killing was a “cowardly act that will not go unpunished” while an Israeli minister wrote that Haniyeh’s death was the “right way to clean the world from this filth”.
