Middle East crisis: Hamas says leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran

Political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in an attack on Hamas office in Tehran, says Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, group says

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in Tehran, the Palestinian militant group Hamas has said.

In a statement, the Islamist faction mourned the death of Haniyeh, who it said was killed in “a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran”.

Earlier, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said he had been targeted in his residence along with an Iranian bodyguard. It said he had been in Iran to attend the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian. It said it was investigating the circumstances of the “incident”.

Israel has yet to comment on his killing.

Haniyeh was the exiled political chief of the militant group and had spent much of his time in recent years in Qatar and Turkey. Considered a pragmatist, he had acted as a negotiator in the ceasefire talks during the Israel-Gaza war, liaised with Hamas’s main ally, Iran, and met with the Turkish president.

Haniyeh was also said to maintain good relations with the heads of the various Palestinian factions, including rivals to Hamas.

Haniyeh was elected head of the Hamas political bureau in 2017 to succeed Khaled Meshaal, but was already a well-known figure having become Palestinian prime minister in 2006 following an upset victory by Hamas in that year’s parliamentary election.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas called the killing “a cowardly act and a serious escalation.” The Turkish foreign ministry called the assassination “heinous.”
