We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Within hours of each other, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran and Hezbollah’s “Defense Minister” Fuad Shukr was killed in an airstrike in Beirut, raising the specter of further escalation in the Middle East.
Analysts who discussed the situation with The Press Service of Israel said the strikes sent powerful messages to Iran and Hezbollah, stressed that Haniyeh’s death is very embarrassing for the regime in the eyes of the Iranian public, and agreed that Haniyeh’s assassination would only pose a short-term delay for ceasefire efforts.
Haniyeh, head of Hamas’s politburo, was in Tehran attending the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Unlike the Beirut strike, however, Israeli officials have not commented.
Pragmatic, But Not Moderate
Both Haniyeh and Shukr were the highest-level Hamas and Hezbollah figures killed since Israel, underscoring their significance, Professor Eyal Zisser told The Press Service of Israel. Zisser is Tel Aviv University’s vice-rector and has a chair in Contemporary History of the Middle East.
