A delegation from Hamas's political bureau attended the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Israeli reporter Lia Goldstein reports. The post highlights the convergence of senior figures from across Iran's proxy network at the event, which she characterized as a single cluster of targets.
A delegation from the political bureau of the Hamas movement attended Friday's funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Israeli reporter Lia Goldstein reported. The post, quoting a source with knowledge of the arrivals, said that 'almost my entire hit list is in Tehran today,' underscoring the convergence of senior figures from across Iran's proxy network at the event.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, delegations from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and Iranian-backed Iraqi militias were also assembling in Tehran for the funeral ceremonies. The gathering has drawn attention from Israeli security commentators, with Yair Goldblatt questioning why the Hamas delegation's return flight should not be targeted.
The funeral, which began Friday morning at the Mosalla complex in Tehran, has attracted foreign dignitaries including Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan, Egypt's Senate speaker, and a delegation from Qatar's Shura Council. The convergence of senior Hamas and other proxy-network officials in one location is notable but remains a political observation by a commentator, not an operational assessment.
