“The fake and child-killing Zionist regime continued its stupidity and martyred Haniyeh on Iranian soil, and we will give an appropriate response in due time and place”, Fadavi said.
The Hamas chief was martyred in Tehran on July 31, a day after he attended the inaugural of Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian. Haniyeh lost his life in an Israeli attack on his accommodation.
