Iran has threatened “harsh punishment” for Israel, which it says was responsible for assassinating Hamas’s leader on Wednesday.
Israel has not commented directly on the strike which killed Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran early on Wednesday.

He warned Israelis that “challenging days lie ahead”, as fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East grow.
