..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
leader has been killed after a assassination in Tehran.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in a statement that Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, a Hamas chief, was killed while attending the inauguration ceremony of Iran's new president.

Their statement said that Haniyeh had been killed alongside a security guard in a assassination at their place of residence.

Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau, had been in the capital city as Masoud Pezeshkian was sworn in as President of the nation.

In a statement, Hamas blamed Israeli forces on the death of Haniyeh as they announced his death 'to the Paleostinian people and the Arab nation'.

[Sniff!] So sad.

Har har har har har!

Woodrow has gifted us the report from the Tehran Times:

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh ~~squashed like a worm~~ martyred in Tehran
Oh well now Haniyeh will get his 72 virgin piglets.
Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were martyred after their residence was targeted in Tehran, according to a statement released by the IRGC.

"With condolences to the heroic nation of Palestine and the Islamic nation and the combatants of the Resistance Front and the noble nation of Iran, this morning (Wednesday) the residence of Mr. Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of the Islamic Resistance of Hamas, was hit in Tehran, and following this incident, he and one of his bodyguards were martyred," the statement reads.
Mr. Dr. Ismail Haniyeh? Does he know Dr. Jill?
Further investigation into the incident is underway.

Of course a sizable portion of that might have gone into various pockets.
