While nobody has immediately claimed responsibility for the killing, Hamas, in its statement said Haniyeh was killed in «a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran,» placing the blame at the feet of Israel.
The Benjamin Netanyahu-led state has previously vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s October 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw some 250 others taken hostage and led to the large scale attack on Gaza that is underway to this day.
Analysts on Iranian state television immediately began blaming Israel for the attack. Israel itself did not immediately comment but it often doesn’t when it comes to assassination carried out by their Mossad intelligence agency, an AP report says.
Israel is also suspected of running a yearslong assassination campaign targeting Iranian nuclear scientists and others associated with its atomic program.
