Hamas terror chief Ismail Haniyeh bragged about his safety just hours before he was assassinated
Hamas terror leader Ismail Haniyeh strolled the streets of Tehran bragging about his freedom to safely walk around in public just hours before he was assassinated.
The soon-to-be-killed terrorist even calmly spoke to reporters about the threats to his life as he walked through the Iranian capital Wednesday, according to footage shared by the Telegraph.
“Resistance means we are proud to walk the streets of civilized countries and travel from one nation to another,” Haniyeh bragged in the footage.
Just hours later, he was dead in a stunning attack that his terror group blames on Israel.
Wearing a white shirt and black jacket, Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital for the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian, and was even granted an audience with the rogue nation’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the outlet reported.
At 2 a.m. Wednesday, the terror leader was in his residence in the city when he and one of his bodyguards were blown up.
Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, although reports have since said he was killed by a bomb that was smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse two months before he arrived.
Haniyeh had been far removed from his childhood in a refugee camp and his Israeli prison stints in the 1980s, and since 2016 had been living in luxury in Qatar, the toast of the extremist Muslim world.
He watched the vicious sneak attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel on Oct. 7 from his plush office, cheering and praying as the horrors unfolded on TV, the Telegraph said.
Israel has not commented on the explosion, but Hamas and Iran both blame the Jewish state.
This week, Iran’s supreme leader ordered retaliation.
Haniyeh’s sister was among 10 people killed in an Israeli airstrike last month.
