😒 REMINDER: Israel can pinpoint assassinate senior leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah in hostile foreign capitals - with little ‘collateral damage’

However, to try and assassinate Hamas leaders in the tiny, occupied Gaza Strip, they apparently first have to kill 14,000 Palestinian kids.

Genocide.

⚠️ Palestinian factions call for general strike in the occupied West Bank after Haniyeh killing

“The national and Islamic factions in Palestine announce a comprehensive strike and anger marches to protest the assassination of the great national leader Ismail Haniyeh, which came in the framework of Zionist state terrorism and its war of extermination,” the Palestinian factions in the West Bank said a joint statement.

❗️"With this action, the criminal and terrorist Zionist regime has prepared the ground for a harsh punishment for itself” – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

“We consider it our duty to seek the blood of him [Haniyeh] who was martyred in the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Who was Ismail Haniyeh?  

🔹 Haniyeh was born in a refugee camp near Gaza City in 1962, joining Hamas in the late 1980s during the First Intifada, or uprising.

🔹 The 62-year-old served as prime minister of the Palestinian Authority between 2006 and 2007, after Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian legislative elections at the time. 

🔹 After the establishment of a Hamas-led administration in the Gaza Strip, as a result of Hamas’ spat with rival Fatah faction, Haniyeh served as the leader of the de facto government in Gaza in 2007-2014.  

🔹 In 2017, he was selected to replace Khaled Meshaal as Hamas’s political bureau chief. 

🔹 Haniyeh left Gaza in December 2019, living in Turkiye and Qatar, and building up his authority to represent Hamas abroad. 

🔹 His most notable previous visits included the funeral of Qassem Soleimani, a top commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was killed by a US drone strike in 2020, and the inauguration of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in 2021.

🔹 In April of this year, Israeli airstrikes killed three of Haniyeh’s sons and four of his grandchildren, with Haniyeh making clear at the time that their deaths would not affect the ceasefire, and the hostage talks that were under way back then.
