Escalation Feared as Israeli Strikes Kill Hamas and Hezbollah ... Commanders

The recent killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah's Fuad Shukr in Beirut have raised fears of a major escalation in the region. Haniyeh was killed in a 'treacherous Zionist raid', while Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Both Israel and Hezbollah have threatened retaliation. The UN has called for calm, but tensions remain high. The killings have further complicated ceasefire efforts in Gaza, with Hamas vowing to respond. Iran has vowed revenge for Haniyeh's killing, while the US has struck in Iraq in response to attacks by Iran-linked militias.
