45:26Now PlayingYour questions answered! Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' top political leader, has been assassinated in Tehran, Iran. According to a Hamas statement, Haniyeh "died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran," where he was attending the inauguration of Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. Iran's paramilitary guard, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, confirmed Haniyeh had been targeted and killed at his residence in Tehran, along with his bodyguards. Earlier in April, an Israeli strike killed three of Haniyeh's sons in Gaza.
So far there has been no direct comment from Israel. The raid on Haniyeh's residence in Tehran took place hours after Israel targeted a top Hezbollah commander in southern Beirut.
Questions remain as to how Iran will respond to the killing of Ismail Haniyeh on its territory, and how it will affect the ceasefire negotiations.
