Israel has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders following the group’s October 7 attack that killed 1,200 people and saw 250 others taken hostage.

No details have been released on how Haniyeh was reportedly killed.

Iranian state television reported on Haniyeh’s death early Wednesday with analysts immediately placing the blame on Israel.

Israel hasn’t released a statement on Haniyeh’s death.

At the time of his death, Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday.

Iranian authorities didn’t give any information on Haniyeh’s death, stating that an investigation was underway.
