00:19morning.

00:25affected.

00:27Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, has released a statement claiming that Haniyeh,

00:31who served as the chief of their political bureau, was killed in an Israeli strike on

00:36his headquarters in Tehran.

00:38The attack occurred shortly after Haniyeh had participated in the inauguration of Iran's

00:43new president, Massoud Rajavi.

00:47The killing of Haniyeh has prompted strong reaction from Iranian leadership.

00:52Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed revenge against Israel, stating that

00:57they had prepared a harsh punishment for itself.

01:01Khamenei also emphasized that seeking revenge for Haniyeh's death is a considered duty.

01:07Similarly, Mohsen Razei, the former commander of IRGC, has warned that Israel will pay a

01:15heavy price for the assassination.

01:18Ismail Haniyeh's journey to becoming a top Hamas leader is noteworthy.

01:33landscape of the Middle East.

01:36It's important to note that Israel has not yet officially commented on the killing in

02:09Just a day before, there were concerns about a potential war between Israel and Hezbollah

02:13following a rocket attack on Golan Heights.

02:17Israel retaliated by striking Hezbollah's stronghold in southern Beirut, claiming to

02:21have killed a senior commander, who they say was responsible for the attack.
