Immediately following the announcement that Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, several regional outlet began to claim that he was killed in some form of Israeli missile strike..This was followed by a report from the Iran and Hezbollah-align al-Mayadeen media outlet, which stated that the missile was fired from outside of Iranian airspace..If the assassination was in fact carried out by an airstrike, it was likely done using a Blue Sparrow ALBM considering Israeli's current long-range air to ground strike capabilities..The Blue Sparrow was used earlier this year to strike the city of Isfahan, located south of Tehran. Having likely been launched from Iraqi airspace, the missile showcased its ability to strike deep within Iran..The IDF has not commented on the incident, nor has it claimed responsibility.
