Impact of Hamas Leader's Death

The death of Hamas's chief political leader in a suspected Israeli strike has triggered immediate and violent retaliation from Hamas, with attacks reported in the West Bank and threats from Iran to attack Israel directly. This incident not only jeopardizes ongoing ceasefire negotiations but also raises concerns over a possible escalation of conflict in the region. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered retaliation against Israel, indicating a readiness for retaliation on multiple fronts, including proxy forces in the region.
