Three days after his murder Ismail Haniya in Tehran, Israeli and Arab media reported the death of several more senior Hamas figures.

They are two members of the political office of the organization in Gaza and three commanders of the military wing Izzedin al-Qassam Brigades who were trapped in tunnels and killed recently by the Israeli army. The last in time to fall dead was the commander of the brigades in Tulkarm.

Among the executives who lost their lives is Rawhi Mustasathe de facto prime minister of Hamas in Gaza and in charge of the organization’s finances, as well as Sameh al-Shirazin charge of internal security in the Strip and head of an elite group said to be carrying out missions abroad with Turkey as its base of operations.

These senior figures add to the long list of Hamas political and military leaders who have annihilated Israel in three decades.

One of the first to be killed by the Israeli secret services was Yahia Ayiasknown by the nickname “The Engineer” because he was the primary maker of the bombs that Hamas suicide bombers used to kill nearly 100 Israelis while trying to undermine the Oslo peace accords.

The Shin Bet intercepted a mobile phone given to Agias by a friend and exploded as the “Engineer” was talking to his father in Gaza in 1996.

It followed the 1997 Mossad fiasco with the failed attempt on Hamas Politburo chief Khaled Meshal on an Amman street on the orders of then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli agents sprayed him in the ear with poison, but two of them were arrested and others fled to the Israeli embassy.

Jordan’s King Hussein threatened to hang them and annul the historic peace agreement he had signed with Israel in 1994. After US President Bill Clinton intervened, Netanyahu ordered the head of the Mossad to give the Jordanians the antidote to the poison. Messal remains in the leadership circle of the organization abroad. In the same bargain, Netanyahu was forced to release 70 Palestinian prisoners, among them Sheikh Yassin, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and the founder of Hamas.

The paraplegic sheikh and spiritual leader of Hamas, Yasinsurvived an aerial bombardment of Gaza in September 2003, but was killed by a rocket fired from an Israeli Apache helicopter into Gaza in March 2004.

Ahmed Yasin

His successor, Abdel Aziz al-Radisi, was murdered in the same manner a month later. Radish’s widow, Jamilathe first woman to enter the political office of Hamas (in 2021), was killed last October by an Israeli bombardment in Gaza.

Abdel Aziz al-Radisi

The Israelis also killed him with a rocket from a helicopter Adnan al-Ghul, also known as the “father of (improvised missiles) Qassam”. Formerly the right-hand man of chief bomber Ayyas, al-Ghul rose to become deputy chief of Hamas’s military wing, the “Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades,” and was killed by an Israeli helicopter along with another senior member of the organization in 2004.

The organization’s logistics manager and founder of a special unit for the kidnapping of Israelis, Mahmoud al-Mabdouhwas murdered in a luxury Dubai hotel in 2010. According to local authorities, the assailants drugged him, tortured him with electric shocks and suffocated him with a pillow.

Mahmoud al-Mabdouh

A founding member of the military wing and a member of the Hamas politburo was Saleh al-Arouri who was assassinated in a drone strike in Beirut in early 2024.

Last Thursday, Israel officially announced that it had killed the commander of Hamas’ military wing and mastermind of the October 7 attack, Mohammed Daif. Known by the nickname “the visitor”, Deif had survived seven attempts by the Israelis while losing several members of his family to the bombings of the Gaza Strip.

Removing Dave’s name from Israel’s most-wanted terrorists list, Defense Minister Yoav Gallad said the “Bin Laden of Gaza” was killed in mid-July in a bombing in Khan Younis.

Mohammed Daif

Before turning against Hamas, Israeli intelligence had assassinated leading figures of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) abroad, such as Khalil al Wazir (deputy to Yasser Arafat and known by the alias Abu Jihad) with a commando raid in Tunis in 1988, the secretary of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine Khalid Nazal in Athens in 1986, as well as the representative of the organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Ghassan Kanafani in Beirut in 1972.

Haniya murder: They killed him with a bomb and not a missile – 2024-08-04 09:42:35

The assassination of Ismail Haniya in Tehran has raised the tension again in the Middle East. The way he was killed seems to be different from what was initially thought.

The original script called for a missile to hit Ismail Haniya’s room, while the Iranians claimed the strike was from a remote-controlled machine gun used by a Mossad team to kill top Iranian nuclear scientist Mosen Fakhrizadeh in 2020.

However, an article in the Times brings a twist to what we knew until now.

What the “New York Times” reveals

Contrary to what had been known until now, the assassination of Ismail Haniya was not done with a rocket but with an explosive device. How was the murder done?

  • The explosive device was secretly placed in the guest house where the Palestinian leader would stay, and in fact in his room.
  • According to all indications the bomb was hidden about two months ago in the hostel run and protected by the Revolutionary Guard Corps and part of a large complex in an upscale neighborhood in northern Tehran.
  • The device appears to have been remotely activated when Hania’s presence at the hostel was confirmed.

Lament at his funeral

A crowd of mourners attended the funeral of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran today, who was killed in the Iranian capital in a strike blamed on Israel, a ceremony marked by calls to avenge his death.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recited the prayer for the dead in front of the coffins of Ismail Haniya and his bodyguard draped in the Palestinian flag. The leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement will be buried tomorrow, Friday, in Qatar where he lived in exile.

Holding portraits of Haniya and Palestinian flags, thousands of people gathered at Tehran University, according to an AFP correspondent.

Arrived today at Doha the plane that carried the body of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyawho was assassinated on Wednesday in Tehran, Qatar’s Al Jazeera channel reported.

The leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement, who lived in Qatar, is expected to be buried in the Gulf country tomorrow, Friday, after prayers at the Imam Mohammad bin Abdel Wahab mosque, the largest in the capital Doha.

Hamiya and one of his bodyguards were killed in an attack attributed to Israel on his residence in Tehran where he had gone to attend the inauguration of Iran’s new president.

Crowds attended his funeral in Tehran today, during a ceremony marked by mourning and calls for revenge for his death.

The death of the Hamas leader came hours after the death of a senior Lebanese Hezbollah commander, Fuad Soukrin a targeted strike against him, in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

While Israel declined to comment on the death of the Hamas leader, it confirmed it had killed Fouad Shukr, whom it held responsible for the July 27 deaths of 12 children hit by a rocket in the Israeli-held Syrian Golan Heights. Hezbollah denies any involvement.

Middle East: Iran Seeks Traitors – US Prepares – 2024-08-03 08:47:27

The movements taking place inside Iran confirm the scenario that the assassination of Ismail Haniya was finally done with a bomb and not with a missile. For this reason, the Iranians are thoroughly examining their internal security and making mass arrests.

The Iranian authorities are looking for the security gaps that allowed such a strike in Tehran and of course the people who helped to carry it out. At least that’s according to a new New York Times report citing two Iranian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The key questions about Iran’s strong reaction

  • Why do Iranians react like this: Haniya’s closeness to Iran’s supreme leader – with the two men meeting at Khamenei’s residence just hours before the assassination – is seen as a clear blow to Iranian prestige. Especially since the attack happened in Tehran.
  • What they are looking to find: A separate team of agents interrogated senior military and intelligence officials with a role in guarding the capital. He placed several of them in custody pending investigations, according to the two Iranians.
  • Why they are looking among senior officers: Apparently they feel that some of them did not do their job properly or even helped in the attack. After all, news of the sweeping arrests came after the Revolutionary Guards announced that “the scope and details of this incident are being investigated and will be announced in due course.”

Scan checks and change security protocols

“This breach of security requires different policies and strategies – it can be arresting spies if there was infiltration, or retaliation if the operation was conducted from abroad, or a combination of both.”Sasan Karimi, a political analyst in Tehran, said in a telephone interview.

For this reason Iran’s security services have been put on red alert looking for answers in every possible way. They have already thoroughly examined the hostel where the murderous attack on Haniya took place and taken footage from the cameras.

The staff has also become the focus of the investigations, while a check was made for possible suspects and on the list of those who have visited Iran recently. Notably, according to the New Yorke Times report, Iran believes that members of the Mossad’s assassination team are still in the country and their goal is to capture them.

At the same time a member of the Revolutionary Guards noted that security protocols had been completely revised in the last two days for senior officials. All this while of course considering the retaliation.

The US is strengthening its forces

The US Department of Defense announced yesterday Friday the deployment of additional forces in the Middle East region, where warships and fighter jets are rushing, following threats from Iran and its allies Hamas and Hezbollah.

US military forces have been put on high alert following Iran’s threats to retaliate for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran days ago, as the war in the Gaza Strip rages on.

Similar measures were also taken in early April, before the missile and drone attack launched by Iran on 4/13 against Israel. But this time, in a possible combined attack by Hezbollah from Lebanon, the mission of US forces to intercept missiles and drones will be even more difficult given the pro-Iranian group’s large arsenal and proximity to Israel.

On April 13, Israel announced that it had shot down nearly 300 drones and missiles with the help of the US and other allies.

Iranian officials are consulting today with representatives of Iran’s regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen to consider possible retaliation against Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran, five sources told Reuters.

The region faces the risk of widening conflict between Israel, Iran and its allied forces following the assassination of Ismail Haniya in Tehran on Wednesday and the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday in an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital Beirut.

The Chania funeral

Today a funeral ceremony was held with presidential honors in Tehran for Ismail Haniya. Iran has stressed that it has a duty to avenge the assassination of the Palestinian leader that took place while he was a guest in Tehran.

At the same time, the US and France are engaged in a diplomatic barrage to persuade Tehran to moderate its reactions in order to avoid a generalized war.

The US is massing its fleet in the region

However, at the same time the US has gathered 12 warships in the area.

They are the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and its accompanying warships, and the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, a three-ship amphibious group that includes more than 4,000 Marines and sailors, the Washington Post reports.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt was in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday with six US destroyers: USS Cole, USS John S. McCain, USS Daniel Inouye, USS Russell, USS Michael Murphy and USS Laboon.

In the eastern Mediterranean were the three amphibious ships – USS Wasp, USS Oak Hill and USS New York – and two destroyers, USS Bulkeley and USS Roosevelt.

Middle East: Israel on high alert – Iran is preparing – 2024-08-02 12:42:41

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Israel is on high alert, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today, as concerns grow that Iran or its allies will retaliate for the killing of top Hezbollah and Hamas figures this week.

“Israel is well prepared for any eventuality, both defensively and offensively”Netanyahu said after visiting the headquarters of the military’s Home Front Command, which is responsible for civilian protection. “We will exact a heavy price for any aggression against us, wherever it comes from”he repeated.

According to the website Axios, citing a source close to the prime minister’s office, Netanyahu will later speak by phone with US President Joe Biden and the subject of their discussion will be the escalating tension in the Middle East.

The war with Israel entered a new phase

The leader of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah said today that the war with Israel has entered a new phase, warning that the group will surely respond to the killing of a top Hezbollah commander by an Israeli strike.

Nasrallah reiterated that the group was not responsible for Saturday’s deadly rocket attack that killed children in the Israeli-occupied and annexed Golan Heights. As he said Hezbollah would admit if it was wrong and killed civilians.

The leader of the Shiite organization spoke for the first time after the assassination of the leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniya and the death of the commander of the Shiite organization, Fouad Shukr, who was killed by an Israeli strike on Tuesday night in a southern suburb of Beirut.

Israel blamed Shukr for the attack that killed 12 children and teenagers on Saturday in Majdal Shams, a Druze town in the occupied and annexed Golan.

Iran prepares – Barrage of contacts between its allies

Senior Iranian officials will meet today with representatives of Iran’s regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen to discuss possible retaliation against Israel after the assassination of the Hamas leader in Tehran, five sources told Reuters.

Representatives of the Palestinian organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad allied to Iran as well as Yemen’s Tehran-backed Houthi movement, Lebanon’s Hezbollah group and Iraqi resistance groups will attend the meeting in Tehran, said the sources, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.

“Iran and the members of the resistance will carry out a thorough assessment after the meeting in Tehran in order to find the best and most effective way to respond to the Zionist regime [Ισραήλ]»said a senior Iranian official with direct knowledge of the meeting.

Another Iranian official said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and high-ranking members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps would take part. “How Iran and the resistance front will respond is under consideration… This will definitely happen and the Zionist regime (Israel) will undoubtedly regret it,” General Mohammad Baqeri, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, said on state television today. .

Israel is a “pariah state” according to the Jordanian Foreign Minister

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi today called Israel a “pariah state” that must be prevented from “causing more war and destruction” in the Middle East, as Jordan’s foreign minister reacted to the killing of the Hamas leader.

“The UN Security Council must not allow a state that has become a pariah state to impose more wars and destruction on the region”Safadi said during a joint press conference with his Luxembourg counterpart Javier Bettel in Amman.

Urging the international community to act to “put a stop to Israel’s blatant aggression”, the Jordanian foreign minister called on the SA to “protect the right of this region to live in peace and security”.

“The situation is sliding into the abyss and the responsibility lies with Israel,” he warned, accusing Israel of “murdering” Hamas leader Ismail Haniya, “the man who negotiated a deal to exchange Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages held in Gaza.”

In order to de-escalate the situation, it would be necessary “to put an end to the cause of the escalation, namely the aggression against Gaza”, concluded the Jordanian Foreign Minister.
