With the killing of Hamas political bureau chairman Ismail Haniyeh, the Israel-Hamas war is at, arguably, its most volatile moment. Israel has not taken responsibility for the assassination, though it did so for the death of Hezbollah leader Fuad Shuk in Lebanon. It is clear that the Israeli army and intelligence have been looking for the Hamas leadership since October 7. “They are living on borrowed time,” said Defence Minister Yoav Gallant declaring that Israel will target leaders of Hamas everywhere.
