"We are engaged in a revolution against our enemies, an ongoing battle, and the resistance does not end with the assassination of the leader," Salame said.

According to media reports, Hamas said in a statement earlier on the 31st that Haniyeh was killed in an attack at his residence after attending the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Massoud Pezerhziyan in Tehran. Hamas claimed that the assassination was carried out by Israel and vowed to retaliate.

According to CNN, a White House spokesman said the White House had seen reports that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran, but declined to comment immediately. At the same time, the Israeli military refused to comment on Haniyeh's death.

In addition, according to CCTV News, many of Haniyeh's relatives have died in Israeli air strikes. On April 10 this year, Haniyeh's three sons and several grandchildren died in Israeli air strikes in the northern Gaza Strip. Haniyeh said at the time that since the outbreak of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, about 60 of his relatives have died in Israeli military operations.
