On July 31, a major event occurred in the Middle East, when Hamas leader Ismail · Haniyeh was assassinated in the Iranian capital.
Haniyeh is no ordinary person, he is the number one person with absolute authority in Hamas. This incident is bound to cast a shadow over the already complicated situation in the Middle East.
Shortly after the attack, Hamas sternly stated that the death of Haniyeh had led to a serious escalation and that Hamas would rise up to resist.
It is still unknown where the situation in the Middle East will go in the future.
Is there an inner ghost? Details of the attack were revealed
The day before Haniyeh's assassination, he was attending the inauguration ceremony of Iran's new president, Pezeshiziyan, when he was assassinated the next day.
Who was responsible for the attack? Israel and Iran have not yet spoken. But given what Israel has done before, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter is inseparable from Israel.
On July 31, Hamas's senior leader, Khalil · Haya, said at a press conference that Israel would be made to pay a heavy price for his crimes.
According to Haya, a missile accurately hit Chania's room, and after the explosion, the doors, windows and walls were seriously damaged, not only Hania was killed, but also a bodyguard was killed in the explosion.
The missile that hit Chaniyeh was an "airborne guided projectile," and Iran and Hamas are now working hard to investigate the exact location of the missile.
According to Iran media, Haniyeh had been living in a veterans' dormitory in Tehran during the inauguration of the Iranian president, and at 2 a.m., he was asleep when he was hit by a missile attack.
Hamas questioned whether the attack was carried out by Israel, but based on Israel's history of assassinations of senior Iran officials, even if Israel did it, they would not respond.
In fact, this is not the first time Chania has been assassinated.
Three months ago, Chania's car and accommodation were bombed, killing seven of his children and grandchildren.
Chania has long been the target of Israel's assassinations, and this time the air strikes were carried out with such precision that some people questioned that Haniyeh had leaked his whereabouts.

Despite the killing, Hamas's top brass said Hamas would not descend into chaos.
There is no doubt that this attack is very bad, which will inevitably exacerbate the contradictions between Israel and Iran and Hamas, and further complicate the situation in the Middle East. It also confirms once again that Israel has no intention of achieving peace.
A warning to Iran? The assassination sends two signals
The situation in the Middle East is already complicated, and this assassination has made the situation even more serious. Some experts believe that the assassination incident has released two important signals.
The first clear signal is that Israel, through its assassinations, has shown that it has been seeking the complete elimination of Hamas, leaving no room for mitigation.
Otherwise, Israel would not have risked the world's condemnation to assassinate the supreme leader of an organization, which is bound to provoke a strong reaction from Hamas.

Israel's killing of Hamas leaders is itself an important part of the elimination of Hamas. Next, Hamas may no longer have any illusions.
In recent years, Israel has carried out targeted killings of Hamas's top leaders, this time directly targeting Hamas's top leaders.
The second signal is that Israel wants to take this opportunity to warn the new president of Iran not to continue to oppose Israel without a bottom line. Previously, the new president had expressed support for groups attacking Israel.
But will such a well-warned attack deter Pezeshiziyan?
Shortly after the attack, Iran's representative to the United Nations sent a letter to the UN Security Council regarding the assassination of Hania.
He called the terrorist attack launched by Israel a violation of Iran's sovereignty. Iran justly stated that Haniyeh was an official guest of Iran and that such attacks violated international law and norms.

Iran also pointed out that United States provided intelligence support to Israel, otherwise the attack could not have been so precise. Iran calls on the international community to take steps to hold the perpetrators accountable.
Haniyeh's attack on Iran's capital tells outsiders that Iran is not safe and that those who oppose Israel will not dare to go to Iran easily.
In any case, Israel's assassination was not just. Such violations are also bound to provoke more revolt.
The situation could spiral out of control in the future
Some experts believe that Israel's attack on Hamas's supreme leader may turn into a broader regional conflict, and at least Hamas will launch a new round of more violent retaliation against Israel.

In fact, Haniyeh, who was assassinated, was a moderate who had been working for a ceasefire. Israel's killing of Haniyeh also proves from the side that Israel does not actually want a ceasefire, but wants to completely eliminate Hamas.
But not everything is done by Israel.
First, Hamas is not the only one in the Middle East who is rebelling against Israel. On the one hand, the residents of Gaza will certainly become more disgusted with Israel and will launch more fierce resistance.
In addition, Iran, China, Russia and other countries will not sit idly by. On the afternoon of 31 July, at the request of several countries, the United Nations convened an emergency meeting on the assassination of Chania.
(Chania in Iran)
Many countries unanimously condemned Israel's assassination as a flagrant undermining of peace efforts and a wanton violation of the Charter of the United Nations.
Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, sternly pointed out that the risk of spillover from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become more prominent, and it has already spread to Lebanon and Israel, Syria and Israel, and the Red Sea, where new contradictions and conflicts have frequently emerged.
In the future, with the timing of this assassination, more countries in the Middle East may be involved in Middle East conflicts.
Israel's wanton and provocative actions in defiance of the international community's desire for peace will only further escalate the situation and will be unanimously condemned by the international community.
So far, Israel has not responded positively to Haniyeh's assassination, and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has even ordered that members of the government are not allowed to speak out about the incident.
(Gaza Strip)
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused a large number of casualties in Gaza, adding a lot of uncertainty to the already volatile international situation. With the support of United States behind it, Israel's reckless behavior has aroused the public indignation of the international community.
The fact that a country has launched an assassination attempt shows Israel's inner weakness and lack of self-confidence, and Israel, which is the enemy of the world, is doomed to defeat in the end.
