After the Israeli strike killed Hezebollah's commander Fuad Shukr, the Lebanon-based militant organisation attacked Israel twice. The recent developments have spurred fear of wider war in the Middle East.
Earlier reports claimed that Mossad hired Iranian agents to plant explosives in three separate rooms of a building where Haniyeh was staying. However, Iran has now said that Haniyeh was killed by a short-range projectile.
According to Hamas-controlled media, a commander of the Palestinian militant group's Tulkarm Brigades when the Israeli airstrike struck a vehicle. This came amid red-hot tensions after the killings of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Ismail Haniyeh was targeted by the Mossad agency since he arrived in Tehran to attend former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's funeral in May. His recent assassination shocked Iran and exposed critical failures of the country's intelligence and security.
The Pentagon said it would send additional fighter jets, Navy warships, and a carrier strike group to replace the one already deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. The assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has triggered calls for retaliation towards Israel, risking an all-out war.
You must have heard the name Mossad…check out the work today. A planted bomb... a remote control... and artificial intelligence... just these three things were used to eliminate Hamas's biggest terrorist Ismail Haniyeh.
Tensions are on a rise in Israel due to escalating conflicts with Lebanon and Iran. The Indian Embassy in Israel has issued an advisory for the Indian nationals living in the country.
Thousands of mourners, including Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, attended Haniyeh's funeral ceremony, after which he will be buried in the city of Lusail. Haniyeh's killing in Iran sent shockwaves through the Middle East and threatened an escalation of regional tensions.
Israel's tensions with Iran took another dangerous turn after the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which has triggered calls for retaliation. The incident fuelled fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East, already grappling with the Israel-Hamas war.
Tensions have escalated further between Isreal and Hezbollah after the former killed top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in retaliation to the attack at Golan Heights that killed 12 children.
Haqeeqat Kya Hai: How Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh Was Killed in Iran
The report claimed that the explosives had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse despite the fact the building is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
The conflict in the Middle East has entered a new phase in the wake of Israel's suspected assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and an Israeli strike in Beirut against the top military commander of Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Iran's Axis of Resistance is a coalition with the potential to further destabilize the Middle East amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. Their coordinated actions against Israel and close ties to Iran could trigger wider conflicts, disrupt global trade, and worsen humanitarian crises.
Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of Hamas' political bureau and long targeted by Israel, was killed in an attack on his residence in Iran. His death has fuelled concerns of an all-out conflict between Iran and Israel and came at a critical time of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
Lebanon's Hezbollah confirmed on Wednesday that senior commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital, making him the most senior figure from the group to be killed in nearly 10 months of conflict with Israel.
Netanyahu did not mention the killing. Both Hamas and Iran quickly blamed Israel for the shock assassination that risked escalating into an all-out regional war. The strike that killed Haniyeh came hours after Israel targeted a top commander in Iran's ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Hamas sources said Meshaal is expected to be chosen as the paramount leader of the group to replace Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Iran in the early hours of Wednesday, with Tehran and Hamas vowing retribution against Israel.
Late on Tuesday, Israel's military reported the killing of Shukr, identified as Hezbollah's highest-ranking commander, attributing responsibility to him for a weekend attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that resulted in the deaths of twelve youths.
Israel's Tuesday strike on Beirut, Lebanon targeting a senior Hezbollah commander in retaliation for Saturday's Golan Heights attack shone the light on the decades-long conflict between the two nations. Israel blamed Hezbollah's Fuad Shukr for the Golan Heights attack that killed 12 children.
