Iran on Thursday held funeral festivities for Hamas commander Ali Haniyeh after he was killed in a” treacherous Israeli raid on his home in Tehran. ” The march echoed with the names for revenge at” the correct time and in the right location,” AFP reported.
” It is our duty to answer at the proper time and in the right location,” said Egyptian lawmaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in a statement as the audiences chanted” Death to Israel, dying to America! “
The boxes, adorned with a black-and-white structure resembling a Arab keffiyeh shawl, were transported on a flower-covered vehicle through covered streets.
Egyptian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led prayer for Haniyeh before his interment in Qatar and had originally vowed a “harsh abuse” in response to his shooting.
‘ Our responsibility is to get revenge for his heart ‘
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after the Hamas leader’s death had said that it was “our work to get revenge for his heart as he was martyred in the province of the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
While Iran has accused Israel of being behind the assault, the latter has not commented on Haniyeh’s suicide.
But, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his nation had delivered” crushing knocks” to its opponents in recent days.
“These are hard times. There are challenges from Beirut. We are available for any situation. We are prepared, ” he said, emphasizing that Israel may react strongly to any problems. “We’ll settle the score with anyone who harms us, people who massacres our children, people who murders our people, people who hurts our nation, ” he said according to CNN.
Netanyahu pledged to eliminate Hamas in response to the October 7 assault that sparked the issue in Gaza. This invasion resulted in 1,197 incidents, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Jewish numbers. Also, militants took 251 victims, 111 of whom are also held in Gaza, with 39 confirmed dead, according to defense information.
