The truth behind the claims about assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Fact Check
Upon discovering the posts propagating these claims, we promptly initiated a comprehensive fact-checking investigation. Our thorough research yielded no credible or verified reports suggesting India’s involvement in the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. Despite scouring various reliable sources and intelligence reports, we found no evidence to substantiate these claims.
According to media reports(Reuters , Al-Jazeera, BBC) Senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya said. Haniyeh was killed by a missile that hit him “directly” in a state guest house where he was staying.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, made no claims of responsibility for the assassination and declined to comment on the incident.
Despite conducting an exhaustive and comprehensive review of available sources and intelligence reports, we were unable to find any credible or reliable information suggesting India’s involvement in the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Intent
Pakistan-based anti-India propaganda accounts are circulating false and self-invented claims about the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh to set their narrative against India.
Conclusion
Claim – The Indian embassy in Tehran assisted Israel in the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Fact- No such report came to light, no verified source was available, and no official statement from government officials. These claims are nothing but propaganda.
