hamas political leader ismail haniyeh killed
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, aged 62, has been killed in a predawn strike in Iran. 31 july 2024 .
His killing threatens the stability of the region and increases the risk of the Gaza war escalating into a regional conflict.
At around 2am local time (22:30 GMT) on Wednesday, Haniyeh was killed by an “airborne guided projectile.” His bodyguard was also killed.
He was assassinated on the first day of Iranian President Masaoud Pezeshkian’s term. Haniyeh had travelled to Tehran for Pezeshkian’s inauguration on Tuesday.
Hamas’ top political leader was killed Wednesday by a predawn airstrike in the Iranian capital, Iran and the militant group said, blaming Israel for a shock assassination that risked escalating into an all-out regional war. Iran’s supreme leader vowed revenge against Israel.
Israel had pledged to kill Ismail Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that sparked the war in Gaza. The strike came just after Haniyeh had attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president in Tehran — and hours after Israel targeted a top commander fuad shukr in Iran’s ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Who was Ismail Haniyeh?
Haniyeh was widely considered Hamas’s political leader and has been a prominent member of the movement for more than two decades.
In 2006, at the age of 44, he led Hamas to a legislative election over the Fatah movement which had been in power for more than 10 years.
However, he was dismissed after the West refused to work with Hamas. He was elected head of Hamas’s political bureau in 2017 and the US Department of State designated him a “terrorist” in 2018.
In 2019, having stepped down as Hamas head in Gaza, Haniyeh left the enclave and began living abroad, leading the group’s diplomatic efforts as its political chief.
On April 10, 2024, three of his children – Hazem, Amir and Mohammad, along with a number of his grandchildren — were killed in Gaza, amid the continuing war.
He has lived in Qatar for the past several years.
