The Palestinian group’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in a missile strike on his residence in Tehran
Russia has strongly condemned the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Hanieyah, who was killed in a missile strike on his residence in the Iranian capital Tehran on Wednesday.
The attack is widely believed to have been carried out by Israel, but West Jerusalem has yet to officially claim responsibility for the strike.
Commenting on the assassination, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that Moscow “strongly condemns this attack, as it resulted in the death of Haniyeh.”
“Such actions are aimed against attempts to establish peace in the region and can significantly destabilize the already tense situation,” Peskov stressed.
