Israel had vowed to kill Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh
Hamas said Ismail Haniyeh was killed in “a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran” Tuesday morning. The group said an investigation is on to find out more details about the attack.
Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend the swearing-in of Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian.
“Brother, leader, mujahid Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the movement, died in a Zionist strike on his headquarters in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of the new (Iranian) president,” the statement read.
