Haniyeh was reportedly \u2063killed in a precision strike \u2064that occurred \u2064during his stay at a hotel. While\u200d Israel has \u2064not officially acknowledged \u2062responsibility\u2062 for the attack, Khamenei declared a duty to avenge Haniyeh&#8217;s death and \u2063promised \u200dIsrael &#8220;severe punishment.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that \u2063Iran plans \u2063to retaliate with coordinated missile and drone strikes targeting military \u2064installations in Israel, potentially working alongside its regional allies in Yemen,\u200c Syria, and Iraq. Analysts suggest that Iran feels compelled to respond \u200cto maintain its credibility\u2063 and\u2063 deter further Israeli aggression. <\/p>\n<p>In the\u200b wake of these developments, anti-Israel\u200d sentiments escalated during Haniyeh&#8217;s funeral,\u200d with calls for revenge\u200d from Iranian leaders. Israeli \u2062Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of\u200c impending challenging days and has vowed to retaliate\u2062 against any aggression from adversaries. This ongoing tension reflects the broader conflict dynamics in the region, emphasizing heightened risks for future escalations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section>\n<p>Awash in humiliation after Israel killed a Hamas terrorist leader under his nose, Iran&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ayatollah-iran-in-no-hurry-to-see-u-s-return-to-nuclear-deal\/\" title=\"Ayatollah: Iran in no hurry to see U.S. return to nuclear deal\">supreme leader<\/a> says Israel will pay.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hamas-leader-allegedly-assassinated-israel-wasnt-gaza-died\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed<\/a> Wednesday in Tehran after a precision attack in which a rocket hit the room he was staying in at about 2 a.m. Tehran time, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/07\/31\/world-news\/hamas-chief-ismail-haniyeh-was-killed-in-precision-strike-on-his-room-during-visit-to-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has not commented upon the attack, which is its standard response when its enemies are killed in targeted attacks for which Israel is believed to be responsible.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants Israel hit directly, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/31\/world\/middleeast\/iran-orders-attack-israel.html?smid=url-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>, which cited sources it did not name as saying the attack order was issued Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly, Khamenei said that &ldquo;we see avenging his blood our duty&rdquo; and that Israel would be receiving &ldquo;a severe punishment.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>In April, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-israels-iron-dome-lights-dozens-iranian-drones-horrifying-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran<\/a> sent hundreds of missiles and drones against Israel in a highly telegraphed attack that saw most of the rockets downed before reaching Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The Times said its sources indicate that this time around, a mass of drones and missiles will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/charles-lipson-what-2023-will-bring-for-the-war-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"Charles Lipson: What 2023 Will Bring for the War in Ukraine\">strike military targets<\/a> near Haifa and Tel Aviv, but not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-strikes-back-military-strikes-130-palestinian-terrorist-targets-in-response-to-rocket-attacks\/\" title=\"ISRAEL STRIKES BACK: Military Strikes 130+ Palestinian Terrorist Targets In Response To Rocket Attacks\">hit civilian targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The report said Iran may coordinate its attack with groups in Yemen, Syria and Iraq that it funds and arms.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Iran likely believes it has no choice other than retaliating to deter further Israeli attacks, defend its sovereignty, and preserve its credibility in the eyes of its regional partners,&rdquo; &nbsp;Ali Vaez, the Iran director of the International Crisis Group, said.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2024\/08\/01\/israel-hamas-war-iran-haniyeh-hezbollah-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>, Israel killed senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr on Wednesday.

Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was killed in Tehran on Wednesday during a targeted strike when a rocket struck the room he was occupying around 2 a.m. local time, as reported by the New York Post. Israel has not commented on this incident, which is typical for them when their adversaries are killed in operations believed to be orchestrated by them. In retaliation, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is reportedly seeking direct action against Israel; unnamed sources cited by The New York Times indicated that an attack order was issued on Wednesday. Khamenei publicly stated that avenging Haniyeh&#8217;s death is seen as their duty and warned of &#8220;severe punishment&#8221; for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in an anticipated assault where most were intercepted before reaching their target. According to The Times&#8217; sources, this time Iran plans to deploy numerous drones and missiles aimed at military sites near Haifa and Tel Aviv while avoiding civilian areas. The report suggests that Iran may coordinate its response with allied groups in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq whom it supports militarily.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Vaez from the International Crisis Group noted that Iran likely feels compelled to retaliate to deter further Israeli strikes while defending its sovereignty and maintaining credibility among regional allies.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post highlighted that on Wednesday Israel also killed senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr and previously announced the death of Mohammed Deif, a key Hamas military figure during an airstrike in Khan Younis back in July. At Haniyeh\u2019s funeral on Thursday, anti-Israel sentiments were prominent; Khalil al-Hayya from Hamas declared Haniyeh\u2019s slogan \u201cWe will not recognize Israel\u201d would endure forever and vowed to continue pursuing efforts until Israel is removed from Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf affirmed they would carry out Khamenei&#8217;s directive for revenge against Haniyeh\u2019s killing: \u201cIt is our duty to respond at the right time and place,\u201d he said amid chants of \u201cDeath to Israel!
