"US vows to defend Israel"
Hamas Leader Haniyeh Assassinated In Iran By Israeli Strike. US Vows to Defend Israel.
Ismail Haniyeh, the top political leader of Hamas, was killed during an inauguration event for Iran’s new president. Haniyeh, who is based in Qatar, and an Iranian security guard were reportedly killed at their place of residence. Israel’s attack follows a strike by the Jewish state on Beirut on Tuesday that targeted senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Shukr, reportedly the mastermind behind a recent attack that killed 12 Israeli children in the Golan Heights, is believed to have died in the strike. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed a stern response to the Golan Heights strike, despite Hezbollah’s denial that it was responsible for the attack. Lebanon’s current prime minister condemned the airstrike. Many regional analysts believe that a broader war in Lebanon will draw in Iran-backed groups and actors across the region, eventually leading to an open war between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the United States will defend Israel if it is attacked by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
