The Iranian Students News Agency published the last photos of the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, before his assassination at 2 am, in the north of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

According to Iranian sources, martyr Ismail Hineh visited the “Land of Civilizations” area around Milad Tower in the capital, Tehran, after attending the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

According to the photos, Haniyeh was accompanied by the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, Ziad al-Nakhalah, and the Deputy Leader of the Hamas Movement in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, in addition to the Leader of the Hamas Region in the West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, who succeeded the leader Saleh al-Arouri after his assassination at the beginning of this year. Haniyeh’s companion, Wasim Abu Shaaban, who was reportedly assassinated with him, is also seen.

In a statement issued this morning by Hamas, it said: “We mourn the head of the political bureau, the brother leader, the martyr, the mujahid Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran, after participating in the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian president.”

The movement said in a brief press statement today, Wednesday, "(And do not think of those who were killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision). The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourns to the sons of our great Palestinian people, to the Arab and Islamic nation, and to all the free people of the world, the brother, the martyred leader, the mujahid Ismail Haniyeh."
