ON THE BRINK OF MIDDLE EAST WAR

Tensions escalated in the Middle East after Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran. Iran and Hezbollah vowed revenge against Israel, and the feared has begun.

ROCKET ATTACK FROM HIZBULLAH TO ISRAEL

Hizbullah launched a large number of rockets from southern Lebanon to Israel. It is stated that Hizbullah fired rockets at 15 points in Upper Galilee in northern Israel, and most of the rockets were destroyed in the air by Iron Dome.

Preventive rockets left light traces in the air and sparks scattered as a result of the explosions. The Israeli army launched at least two illumination flares into the border area at night. It was reported that some rockets caused fires where they fell.

HIZBULLAH HAD SWORN REVENGE

Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah said in his speech at the funeral of Fuad Shukur, who was killed in the Israeli attack, that the war with Israel has entered a new phase. Nasrallah, who said "Even if Israel crosses the red lines, the only solution is the end of the war in Gaza," announced that there will be a response to Israel.

Nasrallah, who said that there is no room for debate about the enemy waiting for our response, emphasized once again the revenge and said that the group is looking for a "real and well-thought-out response" to the attack in which Haniyeh was killed.

HANIYEH ASSASSINATION

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced in a statement on the morning of July 31 that an attack was carried out on Haniyeh's residence in Tehran. Iran and the Hamas Movement held Israel responsible for the cowardly assassination.

Ismail Haniyeh, who was born in a refugee camp in Gaza in 1962, was an important figure since the establishment of Hamas. Haniyeh, who has been imprisoned by Israel many times, survived an assassination attempt by Israel in 2003. After Hamas won the elections three years later, Haniyeh briefly served as the Prime Minister of Palestine. In 2017, he was elected as the head of Hamas' political bureau. Haniyeh led the Hamas delegation in negotiations mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt.
