Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is killed in Iran by an alleged Israeli strike, threatening escalation
Hamas's top political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an airstrike in Tehran, Hamas and Iran say, blaming Israel.
Hamas is known to have redundancies in place for cases like this. What is the goal of this? It seems like this is just going to create a Martyr, and won't materially benefit Israel, just sour peace talks (unless that's their aim).
He was suing for a ceasefire. Can't have that.
Clearly israel is not interested with negotiation.
