Palestinian militant group Hamas has called for prayers and a 'day of anger' following the assassination of its political chief Ismail Haniyeh and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Haniyeh was killed in Tehran on Tuesday night by a hidden explosive device, making him the third high-profile figure in Iran-backed militant groups to be targeted in recent weeks.
The killing of Haniyeh has heightened concerns that the conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with its Iran-backed allies, could escalate into a broader Middle East confrontation, especially after Tehran vowed to retaliate for the assassination.
