Israel sent a message to the leaders of Iran and its proxy forces in the region with two separate successful assassinations of a senior Hamas leader and senior Hezbollah commander in Tehran, Iran, and Beirut, respectively, over the last several hours.

The Israeli military publicly acknowledged the targeting and killing of Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of Hezbollah, which the Israelis said was responsible for an attack in the Golan Heights that killed a dozen children, but they did not do the same thing after the news of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s death was reported overnight Wednesday. Hezbollah confirmed Shukr’s death on Wednesday.
