The recent assassinations of the political leader of Hamas and a senior Hezbollah commander have sent shockwaves through the Middle East, further complicating efforts to end the ongoing conflict between Israel and these militant groups.
Hamas has accused Israel of killing its political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran, Iran, while Israel claimed responsibility for a strike in Beirut that targeted the Hezbollah commander allegedly involved in a recent attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel has not confirmed or denied its involvement in Haniyeh's assassination.
