Hamas leader has been killed in Iran, group says

Hamas has blamed Israel for the 'assassination'

Hamas's top political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in Iran, the group has announced.

In a statement, Hamas said he was killed in an airstrike and have blamed Israel. The group said Haniyeh died in "a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran".

Israel has yet to respond to Haniyeh's death.

According to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were "assassinated" in the capital Tehran at around 2am local time.

The Hamas-run station Al-Aqsa TV cited senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk as saying the assassination is a "cowardly act that will not go unpunished."
