Hamas leadership and Iran state media has said political chief of the Gaza based Palestinian group Ismail Haniyeh has been assassinated in an attack in Iran.
The confirmation from Hamas came after the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) issued statement about the ‘martyrdom’ of the leader. The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran is a “cowardly act that will not go unpunished”, Hamas-run Al-Aqsa TV cited senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk as saying.
