Hamas official: Haniyeh killing won’t have results Israel seeks

The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran is a grave escalation that will not achieve its goals, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri tells Reuters.

In the Hamas-linked Shehab news site, Abu Zuhri is quoted saying that Hamas as a movement is strong enough to outlast the deaths of any of its leaders.

“We are waging an open war to liberate Jerusalem and are ready to pay any price,” he is quoted saying.
