On May 28, 2026, Israel announces it has eliminated a leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing. Global coverage diverges sharply: security backing from Washington and London, explicit condemnation from Tehran, Doha, Riyadh, Islamabad and Ankara, European diplomatic caution, economic readings from Asia.
