Hello, everyone; we’re bringing you a crucial reveal on the international stage today.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, widely recognized as a prominent state sponsor of terrorism globally, has reported an assassination. Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of the organization known as Hamas, was targeted and killed on Iranian soil.
This information emerged directly from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, or IRGC for short. They confirmed that Haniyeh was killed in Tehran, the capital city. The attack reportedly occurred during his visit for the inauguration of Iran’s incoming president, Masoud Pezeshkian, at a private residence.
In their official statement, the IRGC stated, “The residence of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political office of Hamas Islamic Resistance, was hit in Tehran, and as a result of this incident, he and one of his bodyguards were martyred.”
This event is a significant occurrence, particularly as it comes on the heels of a brutal attack launched by Hamas, an Iran-backed terrorist group, on Israel on October 7. This resulted in more than 1,200 fatalities.
Speculation is rife as to who might be responsible for Haniyeh’s death. It’s worth noting that Israel had publicly committed to pursuing all Hamas officials, even those residing overseas, after the October 7 massacre.
Earlier today Ismail Haniyeh participated in the inauguration where they chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”
Less than 12 hours later, Israel and America are alive. He is not.

The head of the Israel Security Agency, commonly referred to as Shin Bet, had an audio recording leaked recently. In it, he likened the attack to “our Munich,” a reference to the 1972 incident when Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 members of Israel’s Olympic team. In response to that, Israel had vowed to hunt down and eliminate everyone involved, whether directly or indirectly.
Shin Bet’s leader, Ronen Bar, made their mission clear – to neutralize Hamas. “In every location, in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Lebanon, in Turkey, in Qatar, everyone. It will take a few years, but we will be there in order to do it,” he declared.
Bar acknowledged that Shin Bet had faltered in their duties on October 7, but asserted their commitment to improvement. He noted that the Agency is learning from past incidents and applying these lessons to other areas, not just the Gaza Strip.
He also suggested that much of what Israel has been dealing with in the past year remains undisclosed to the public. “The scope of threats facing the State of Israel has been unprecedented in the past year, even before these recent events,” he said. “Even in this case, the main issues are largely unseen. Many things are happening beneath the surface.”
Remember when Ismail Haniyeh went on a rant on the need for dead Palestinian civilians to help spur on the war effort…

In related news, Israel reportedly eliminated Hezbollah’s Fuad Shukr in Lebanon earlier on the day of Haniyeh’s assassination. This action was in response to an attack launched by Hezbollah the previous weekend, which resulted in the deaths of 12 children in northern Israel.
