Hamas Leader Haniyeh Assassinated in Tehran

News summary

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, Iran, leading to his funeral in Qatar attended by senior Hamas officials and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani. Both Iran and Hamas have blamed Israel for the assassination and have vowed retaliation, although Israel has not claimed responsibility.

Iranian leaders have also condemned the attack, with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei calling for revenge against Israel.
