Hezbollah condemned Israel's killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday, warning his death will only increase the resolve of Iran-backed "resistance" groups.
Hamas said Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli strike in the Iranian capital, where he was attending the swearing-in of the country's new president, and vowed the act "will not go unanswered".
"The martyrdom of leader Haniyeh... will increase the determination and stubbornness of the mujahideen resistance fighters on all resistance fronts... and will make their resolve stronger in confronting the Zionist enemy," Hezbollah said in a statement.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has met Hamas leaders several times to discuss the war and US-backed negotiations for a truce.
