‘Expect grave punishment,’ says huge street banner in Tehran after Haniyeh killing
As Hamas and Iranian officials threaten Israel with revenge over the assassination in Tehran of the terror group’s leader Ismail Haniyeh, a huge threatening street sign in the capital has been put up, according to media and social media.
The banner, placed next to Tehran’s Palestine Square, says “Expect grave punishment” in Hebrew, along with an edited image of Haniyeh with Jerusalem’s Temple Mount in the background.
