Assassination of Haniyeh
According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated when an air-dropped bomb hit his residence. Shrapnel hit his residence, damaging the roof and windows.
The agency added that a preliminary investigation determined that Israel was responsible for the planning and execution of Haniyeh’s assassination.
The New York Times also reported that U.S. officials privately acknowledged Israel’s involvement in the assassination of Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday. Despite this, Israel has not publicly claimed responsibility and has declined to comment.

On the other hand, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari denied involvement and said on Thursday that the Israeli army did not carry out air strikes on Iran or any other country in the Middle East on Wednesday.
However, he confirmed that Israel had killed prominent Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr in Lebanon, but insisted that no other airstrikes had been carried out in the region since then.
