Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will offer the funeral prayer today for the slain leader of the Palestinian Islamic movement "Hamas" Ismail Hania, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA, referring to the Iranian state-run Press TV.
The funeral prayer will be held in the Iranian capital Tehran, Press TV specifies.
Ismail Haniya was killed early yesterday morning in Tehran. His assassination prompted threats of retaliation against Israel, which is credited with eliminating Haniya, and fears of an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
