Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in an Israeli strike in Iran, was the head of Hamas's political wing and a former Palestinian prime minister whose membership of the Islamist militant group dated back to its inception.
In his youth he was a member of the student branch of the Muslim Brotherhood at the Islamic University of Gaza, and joined Hamas in 1987 when the group was founded after the outbreak of the first Palestinian intifada, or uprising, against Israeli occupation, which lasted until 1993. However, the fragile power-sharing arrangement with the Fatah movement of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas soon ruptured, and Hamas took full control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 after violently ousting the president's loyalists.
The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,197 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. An Israeli strike on the Haniyeh family home in Al-Shati killed 10 people in June, including his sister, civil defence officials said, while three of his sons and four of his grandchildren were also killed in an Israeli strike in April.
