The attack seems to echo a prior Israeli operation that targeted Iranian air defenses at the Natanz nuclear site on April 19. Reports suggest that Israeli jets launched rockets from outside Iranian airspace. As the details of the attack begin to emerge, the political implications are also becoming clearer, particularly concerning the fragile ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.

Ismail Haniyeh, who has been pivotal in negotiations mediated by Qatar, the US, and Egypt, may not have directly managed the day-to-day actions in Gaza, a role held by military commander Yahya Sinwar. Recent discussions among American officials indicated that there was hope for progress in the ceasefire talks, although a meeting in Rome last weekend failed to produce any results. In light of Haniyeh's assassination, however, it is difficult to envision how negotiations could advance in the immediate aftermath of such a significant event.

This confirms the accusations that israel is consistently and constantly trying to stoke tensions and provoke escalations to start a full scale regional war.

Turkey’s foreign ministry has expressed concerns, suggesting that the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government demonstrate a lack of commitment to peace in the region.
