Israeli Defense Minister Katz publicly admitted for the first time on Monday that Israel had assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Iran in July. This statement may further increase tension between Tehran and Israel.
What did Israel’s Foreign Minister say?
Katz said, ‘These days when the Houthi terrorist organization is firing missiles at Israel, I want to give a clear message at the beginning of my talk – we defeated Hamas, we defeated Hezbollah, we destroyed Iran’s defense systems. And we overthrew the Assad regime in Syria. We will also deal a serious blow to the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen.
Katz also said, ‘We will damage their strategic infrastructure and we will behead their leaders – just as we did to Haniya, Sinwar and Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza and Lebanon. We will do the same in Hodeidah and Sanaa.
Let us tell you that the Houthi group supported by Iran is active in Yemen. Which has been targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea for the past year and is attempting to impose a maritime blockade on Israel.

Haniya was murdered in Iran
Let us tell you that at the end of July this year, Hamas leader Ismail Haniya was killed in Tehran. Iran had accused Israel of this. But Israel did not take responsibility for this. But now Israel has taken responsibility for it. Let us tell you that Yahya Sinwar, who was in charge of Hamas after Haniya, was also killed by Israel.
