Funeral of assassinated Hamas political leader takes place in Iran
Haniyeh funeral

IRAN’S supreme leader and representatives of Palestinian militias prayed today over the coffins of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard who were killed in a shocking assassination blamed on Israel.

The killing has raised the risk of the fighting in Gaza between the Israelis and Hamas escalating into an all-out regional war.

It comes as Israel claimed today that it killed a senior Hamas military leader in an attack in July.
