Israel’s Defense Minister Announces Elimination of Hamas Leaders and Pledges Action Against Houthi Missile Threats

Israel publicly announced for the first time that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by Israel in Iran. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel would not rest until the heads of the Houthi leaders, who launch missiles at Israel, are taken down. The announcement by Defense Minister Katz is both shocking and strong.

Katz’s declaration was made during his visit to the United States. He said, “In these times, as the Houthi terrorist organization is launching missiles at Israel, I want to send them a clear message at the start of my remarks. We have defeated Hamas, eliminating all their leaders from the face of the earth. Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

Later, we killed Yahya Sinwar, who was made the head of Hamas, and even brought his body to Tel Aviv in Israel. We defeated Hezbollah and blinded Iran’s defense systems. We spread darkness and fear in Iran, dismantling their production systems, energy resources, and weapon facilities, causing severe damage.

We, the Israelis, toppled the Assad regime in Syria, dismantling the military there entirely and disarming the nation of its weapons,” stated Defense Minister Katz.
