Israel acknowledges
It is the first public Israel acknowledges that Israel was behind the killing of Haniyeh
Defence Minister Israel Katz on Monday acknowledged that Israel had killed former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this year, as he warned the military would “decapitate” the leadership of Yemen’s Huthi rebels.
“We will strike hard at the Huthis… and decapitate their leadership – just as we did with Haniyeh, (Yahya) Sinwar, and (Hassan) Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon, we will do so in Hodeida and Sanaa,” Katz said, in the first public acknowledgment that Israel was behind the killing of Haniyeh in July in the Iranian capital.
