Iran's Supreme Leader orders direct attack on Israel following Hamas leader's assassination: Reports
Tehran: Reports suggest that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued an order for a direct military strike against Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. This directive was given during an emergency session of Iran's Supreme National Security Council on Wednesday, shortly after Iran confirmed Haniyeh's death in Tehran.
Haniyeh was reportedly killed at around 2 a.m. local time after attending a ceremony and meeting with Khamenei. His assassination has been attributed to Israel by Iran and Hamas, though Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement. The incident has sparked significant outrage in Iran, which views it as a severe breach of sovereignty.
Iran is contemplating a range of retaliatory actions, including coordinated strikes involving missiles and drones aimed at military targets near Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The attack on Haniyeh, which took place at a highly secure Revolutionary Guards facility, is seen as a major security lapse for Iran. Khamenei has emphasized the necessity of retaliation to deter further Israeli attacks and maintain credibility among regional allies.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with Iran's involvement, has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the Middle East.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
