Middle East shaken after Hamas leader Haniya was killed in Iran

Haniya was shot by a missile while participating in the presidential swearing-in ceremony at the former military officer’s building in Tehran.
Former Palestinian Prime Minister and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in the Iranian capital, Tehran. He was 62 years old. Palestinian militant group Hamas has confirmed that its top leader Haniya was killed in an attack in Tehran. One of Hania’s bodyguards was also killed in the attack, according to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Likewise, the Saudi media “
Al Hadat” reported that a “guided missile” was fired to kill Hania. According to the news published in Al Hadat, the missile was fired at the building in Tehran where Haniya was staying at 2 am local time. According to Fars News, affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Hania was in a building housing ex-soldiers in northern Tehran at the time of the attack. Fars News reported that Hania’s death was caused by a “missile from the sky”.
According to Hamas, Haniya traveled to Iran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s newly elected president, Massoud Pezheshkian. The ceremony was held on Tuesday. Haniyeh met with Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Pezhekian on Tuesday. Similarly, he also met various parliamentarians during his visit to the parliament building in Tehran. Hamas issued a statement claiming that Israel killed him. Hamas said Haniya was killed in a “deceptive Jewish attack”. Musa Abu Marzouk, vice-chairman of Hamas’s political department, described the attack as a “cowardly act,” according to international media. Similarly, another leader of Hamas, Sami Abu Zuhri, said that Hamas is sticking to its objectives. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also condemned Hania’s killing. He urged the Palestinians to remain “united, patient and determined despite Israeli aggression”. The Abbas-led Palestinian Authority currently rules the West Bank. But most of the West Bank is administered by Israel. After Haniya’s murder, Iran issued a serious warning to Israel. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has said that it is “Tehran’s duty to avenge Hania’s murder”…
