Thousands mourn Hamas leader Haniyeh in Iran amid calls for revenge

Al Jazeera  

Haniyeh, spoken of as Tehran’s ‘guest’, was assassinated in the Iranian capital as Israel’s war on Gaza rages. Tehran, Iran – Thousands poured into the streets of Tehran to join the funeral procession of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as Iran weighs its options having promised to avenge his assassination. Talking is not helping, I hope Iran gives a stronger response than last time,” he said, referring to the April 14 attack on Israel in retaliation for an air attack on Tehran’s consulate in Syria. Haniyeh ‘hit directly’ with missile Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, told reporters at a news conference in Tehran late on Wednesday that “a missile entered the room” of Haniyeh and killed him and his bodyguard in an attack that “directly” hit the floor of the building where he was staying. “I hope it won’t escalate much further and I believe we’re still not at the point of direct war, but a lot of it could depend on Iran’s response as well,” said a 24-year-old woman in Tehran who asked not to be named.
