Iran says Hamas leader Haniyeh was killed by ‘short-range projectile’

TEHRAN: Hamas’ slain leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran by a short-range projectile with a warhead of about 7 kg, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement on Saturday.

Tehran’s revenge for the attack will be “severe and (taken) at an appropriate time, place, and manner,” said the statement, which blamed Israel – “the adventurous and terrorist Zionist regime” – for his death.
