International concern over Middle East escalation after Hamas leader killing | BBC News


Turkey and Pakistan announced a day of mourning on Friday in honour of Ismail Haniyeh, while Hamas has called for "roaring anger marches… from every mosque" to take place after Friday prayers to protest Haniyeh’s killing.

Haniyeh had played a key role in indirect talks with Israel over a potential ceasefire deal for the war in Gaza.

Haniyeh’s burial caps a week of soaring tensions in the Middle East, which escalated with the killing of 12 children and teenagers in a strike on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Israel accused Hezbollah and vowed “severe” retaliation, though Hezbollah denied it was involved.
