A U.S. military official said the American military had no involvement in the assassination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Iran.
A U.S. military official tells Fox News the American military had 'no involvement' in the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. It remains unclear if the U.S. had learned of the operation before Haniyeh died in an airstrike on his residence in Tehran on Wednesday, after attending the inauguration of the country's new president. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin could not confirm if Israel was behind the strike nor if military intelligence had warned it would happen.
On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces announced that they carried out a strike in Beirut, targeting a Hezbollah commander accused of orchestrating a recent attack that killed 12 Israeli children and teens on a soccer field in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Israel and the United States said Hezbollah was responsible, but the terror group denied being behind the attack. Israel had promised the attack would not go unanswered.
The Al-Aqsa flood was an earthquake that struck the heart of the Zionist entity and has made major changes at the world level,' Haniyeh said in a speech in Iran during the funeral of late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in May. 'We will continue the resistance against this enemy until we liberate our land, all our land,' Haniyeh said. In the aftermath of Oct. 7, Haniyeh appeared in a video released by Hamas leading prayers with other top officials in the terror group.
