NSTworld: Israel has long regarded Soleimani as a major threat. In August last year the military said it had foiled a Quds Force attack, administered by Soleimani, involving multiple drones from Syria.
As Iranian officials vowed revenge, the government of America’s closest ally in the Middle East gave no immediate public response to the deaths of Soleimani and of Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in Baghdad.
In Gaza, Hamas - which has long enjoyed financial and military support from Tehran - condemned Soleimani’s killing and sent its “dearest condolences” to Iran. He added: “There are no further instructions to the residents of the Golan Heights area and routine activities continue as normal.” Israeli media commentators said that ministers in Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition government had been asked not to comment publicly on Soleimani’s killing.
