Pakistan Declares Day of Mourning for Haniyeh

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was buried in Qatar after his assassination in Tehran, an attack attributed to Israel that has intensified regional tensions. Thousands attended his funeral at Doha's largest mosque, with prominent figures like Khalil Al-Hayya and Khaled Mashaal present. Iran and Hamas have vowed retaliation, while Turkey declared a national day of mourning. The killing of Haniyeh follows a series of targeted assassinations of senior Hamas and Hezbollah figures amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The event has sparked widespread protests and a call for a 'day of rage' by Hamas. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared August 2 a day of mourning and planned national funeral prayers in absentia for Haniyeh.
