Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has reportedly been killed in a raid in Tehran, marking a significant escalation in ongoing hostilities, according to announcements from the Palestinian group. This development follows Israel’s prior commitment to “crush” Hamas in the wake of the October 7 attacks that resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis.
The conflict has led to a devastating toll on Palestinians, with reports indicating that over 39,000 have lost their lives in the ongoing war in Gaza, as stated by the region’s Hamas-run health ministry.
Experts suggest that the operation targeting Haniyeh was likely meticulously planned, further intensifying the already volatile situation in the region.
