Yesterday, Iran and Hamas accused Israel of killing Ismail Haniyeh, one of the most senior leaders of Hamas, while he was in Tehran.
(Haniyeh was Hamas’s lead negotiator in cease-fire talks to end the Gaza war, which began with the Oct. 7 attacks.)
And the groups themselves say they do not want a wider regional war.
(Hamas has said it wants a wider war, but it is depleted from nearly 10 months of conflict in Gaza.)
That’s why, in the span of a few months, Israeli bombs have hit Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen.
