Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political wing, has been killed in Iran, Hamas announced July 31, describing the death as an assassination.

Israel finds itself in a trap: escalate or maintain the status quo; absent a political solution, it must develop capable threats that deter future Hamas attacks and dissuade Hezbollah and Tehran from providing the support Hamas requires to carry them out.
