Hundreds gather for funeral of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh
Hundreds of people gathered at a mosque in Qatar on Friday for the funeral of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh after his killing in Tehran earlier this week, an attack blamed on Israel that deepened fears of a regional war.
Haniyeh, Hamas’ political chief, played a key role in mediated talks aimed at ending nearly 10 months of war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, and his killing triggered calls for revenge and raised questions about the continued viability of such negotiations.
Mourners lined up for funeral prayers inside Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Mosque, the Gulf emirate’s largest. Others prayed on mats outside in temperatures that reached 111 degrees Fahrenheit.

Draped in a Palestinian flag, Haniyeh’s casket was carried briefly into the mosque before being taken for burial in Lusail, north of the Qatari capital.
The killing of Qatar-based Haniyeh is among several incidents since April that have sent regional tensions soaring during the Gaza war, which has drawn in Iran-backed militant groups in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.
Turkey and Pakistan announced a day of mourning on Friday to honor Haniyeh, while Hamas called for a “day of furious rage.”
Many Doha mourners were dressed in crisp white traditional robes, others were wearing street clothes. But most wore scarves that combined the Palestinian flag with a checkered keffiyeh pattern and the message in English: “Free Palestine.”
Doha traffic police and Qatar’s internal security forces monitored all approaches and police lined highway embankments adjoining the mosque grounds.
Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan were among the officials due at the funeral.
Haniyeh and a bodyguard were killed in a pre-dawn “hit” on their accommodation in Tehran early on Wednesday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said. Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the swearing-in of President Masoud Pezeshkian a day earlier.
Israel, accused by Hamas, Iran and others of the attack, has not directly commented on it.
A source close to Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah movement told the AFP that Iranian officials met in Tehran on Wednesday to discuss next steps with representatives of the “Axis of Resistance,” Tehran-aligned Middle East groups that include Hezbollah and Hamas.
“Two scenarios were discussed: a simultaneous response from Iran and its allies or a staggered response from each party,” said the source who had been briefed on the meeting and requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
During the Gaza war, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have engaged in near-daily exchanges of fire, and did so again on Thursday.
The Hamas leader’s assassination came hours after Israel struck a southern suburb of Beirut, killing Fuad Shukr, the military commander of Hezbollah which supports Hamas.
Haniyeh’s deputy, Saleh al-Aruri, had already been killed in south Beirut earlier this year in a strike which a U.S. defense official said Israel carried out.
“Crushing blows to all our enemies”
In another high-profile killing, Israel’s army on Thursday confirmed that an air strike in July killed Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif in Gaza.
Israel “delivered crushing blows to all our enemies,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
In Tehran on Thursday, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led prayers for Haniyeh, having earlier threatened “harsh punishment” for his killing.
Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for its Oct. 7 attack on Israel that ignited the war in Gaza.
The territory’s Civil Defence agency on Friday reported several people killed in the Gaza City area, and Israel’s military said it had killed around 30 militants near Rafah, in Gaza’s south.
Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people, mostly civilians. Militants also seized 251 hostages, 111 of whom are still held captive in Gaza, including 39 the military says are dead.
Israel’s retaliatory campaign against Hamas has killed at least 39,480 people in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry, which does not give details of civilian and militant deaths.
The New York Times, citing Middle Eastern officials, reported that Haniyeh was killed by an explosive device planted several weeks ago at a Tehran guesthouse.
Asked about the report, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari told journalists that “there was no other Israeli aerial attack… in all the Middle East” on the night of Shukr’s killing in Lebanon.
Hugh Lovatt, an analyst at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said Haniyeh’s killing, at the very least, “will mean that a ceasefire deal with Israel is now totally off of the table.”
Still, the international community called for calm and a focus on a Gaza truce – which Haniyeh had accused Israel of obstructing.
The White House said President Joe Biden spoke with Netanyahu by telephone on Thursday and affirmed his commitment to defend Israel’s security “against all threats from Iran.”
“We have the basis for a ceasefire. He should move on it and they should move on it now,” Biden told reporters after the call.
In Israel, hundreds of Israelis again marched in Tel Aviv to demand Netanyahu’s government reach a deal that would bring home the remaining hostages.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, addressing the funeral of Shukr, said Israel and “those who are behind it must await our inevitable response” to the twin killings.
Israel said Shukr’s assassination was a response to deadly rocket fire which killed 12 people, including children, last week in the annexed Golan Heights.

Despite a 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers are already a favorite to win Super Bowl LIX. Quarterback Brock Purdy is Mr. Irrelevant no more after leading the team to the Super Bow last season, and with top talent like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel on the roster, GM John Lynch’s roster-building plan is in full affect.
There’s no doubt the Niners are one of the most exciting teams to watch in the 2024-5 NFL season. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch every San Francisco 49ers game of the season, even if you don’t have cable.

If you don’t have cable TV that includes NBC, Fox, ABC, ESPN and NFL Network, one of the most cost-effective ways to watch the Niners this season, and all the major sporting events happening this fall, is through a subscription to Sling TV. We suggest leveling up your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.

The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.
Note: Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)

For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This ultra-thin, multi-directional Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro digital antenna with a 65-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox, and Univision, and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV and top-tier sound. The antenna comes with a 12-foot digital coax cable.

When and where is Super Bowl LIX?

Despite a 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers are already a favorite to win Super Bowl LIX. Quarterback Brock Purdy is Mr. Irrelevant no more after leading the team to the Super Bow last season, and with top talent like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel on the roster, GM John Lynch’s roster-building plan is in full affect.
There’s no doubt the Niners are one of the most exciting teams to watch in the 2024-5 NFL season. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch every San Francisco 49ers game of the season, even if you don’t have cable.
Sling TV is the most cost-effective way to stream San Francisco 49ers games this season
If you don’t have cable TV that includes NBC, Fox, ABC, ESPN and NFL Network, one of the most cost-effective ways to watch the Niners this season, and all the major sporting events happening this fall, is through a subscription to Sling TV. We suggest leveling up your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.
The Orange + Blue plan regularly costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a $25 off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $35. The Orange + Blue with Sports Extra plan is $50 for your first month and $75 per month after. The Sports Extra add-on features 18 channels, including NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network and ACC Network.
The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.
Note: Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue plan:
- Sling TV is our top choice for streaming major sporting events like NASCAR.
- There are 52 channels to watch in total, including local NBC, Fox and ABC affiliates (where available).
- You get access to most local NFL games and nationally broadcast games at the lowest price.
- All subscription tiers include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
- You can add Golf Channel, NBA TV, NHL Network, NFL RedZone, MLB Network, Tennis Channel and more sports-oriented channels (18 in total) via Sling TV’s Sports Extras add-on.
