Huge blow to Iran’s security reputation: ‘Utter shock over assassination of Haniyeh’

Israel National News reports: “Senior officials in Iran told the New York Times on Wednesday morning that Tehran’s top leadership was ‘in utter shock,’ by the dramatic assassination of senior Hamas official, Ismail Haniyeh.

According to the officials, this assassination also questions Iran’s security reputation and its ability to protect its borders against such attacks.

The Al-Mayadeen network reported that an Iranian source claimed that Haniyeh was eliminated by a missile that was launched from another country. Even so, Tehran officially stated that they are still investigating exactly how the senior terrorist was eliminated.

Leader of the Islamic Jihad, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, was also inside the building where Haniyeh was staying, although according to estimates he was not injured, which may also indicate the precise attack against Haniyeh, who was on a different floor than al-Nakhalah…”
