Hundreds of people marched in the occupied West Bank as well as in Lebanon and Iran to protest the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
The 62-year-old was assassinated Wednesday morning in Tehran, in what the Palestinian organization described as “a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence.” Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement.
Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration of Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, on Tuesday.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will lead prayers over Haniyeh’s body at Tehran University to begin his funeral procession on Thursday.
The procession will head to Azadi (Freedom) Square before Haniyeh’s body is transported to Doha, the capital of Qatar, for burial on Friday.
