โThey're killing dozens of women and children on a daily basis for the last nine months. And this type of terrorism is something that Israelis are famous for. They have killed previous Hamas leaders. The reason Ismail Haniyeh became a Hamas leader was because of that fact,โ Izadi pointed out.
He suggested that the Palestinian militant group โhas a large pool of leadersโ to replace Haniyeh and that when it comes to Iran, the Islamic Republic โwill have a serious response to what has happened.โ
โThe timing of that will be chosen by Iranian leaders. But I think the Israelis will pay a price for engaging in these types of activities,โ the pundit concluded.

Who was Ismail Haniyeh?
๐น Haniyeh was born in a refugee camp near Gaza City in 1962, joining Hamas in the late 1980s during the First Intifada, or uprising.
๐น 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.
๐น After the establishment of a Hamas-led administration in the Gaza Strip, as a result of Hamasโ spat with rival Fatah faction, Haniyeh served as the leader of the de facto government in Gaza in 2007-2014.
๐น In 2017, he was selected to replace Khaled Meshaal as Hamasโs political bureau chief.
๐น Haniyeh left Gaza in December 2019, living in Turkiye and Qatar, and building up his authority to represent Hamas abroad.
๐น 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.
๐น In April of this year, Israeli airstrikes killed three of Haniyehโs 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.

โBlatant' assassination of Haniyeh โmay have been crossing a red lineโ โ ex-CIA officer
The assassination of Hamas politburo chief, Ismail Haniyeh, "clearly had the support and foreknowledge of the United States and the United Kingdom", retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official Larry Johnson insisted in an interview with Sputnik.
So the situation โhas now escalated tensions in the region beyond what they were, even after the attack on the Iranian consul in April in Beirut,โ according to him.
Responding to that attack, Iran โsent a very clear message to Israel that in the future, any further provocations like this would be met with force, and now both Hezbollah and Iran have been incited to respond and Israel is calculating that it can withstand the blows,โ the former CIA intelligence officer added.

โThis is extremely dangerous. [โฆ] This attack [on Haniyeh] was so blatant that I don't think there will be any restraint on the part of Iran or Hezbollah. I think that this may in fact have been crossing a red line. It is extremely worrisome because this has the hallmarks of being able to spin out of control. And it is, we're now in a situation of wait and see,โ Johnson stressed.
