The murder of Ismail Haniyeh was carried out with a guided missile targeting his private residence in Tehran, Iran. The murder took place outside the conflict area and certainly violated the jurisdiction of another country. Sovereignty is a fundamental right for every country in the world as a necessity for the implementation of a legal system in a region in order to provide guarantees for the survival of the population in that region.
