Israel denies Netanyahu death rumors amid reports it hacked Iranian systems to locate and kill Khamenei

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office publicly denied false online reports claiming he had been assassinated, stating he is fine. Concurrently, multiple reports say Israel carried out a strike that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with the operation reportedly relying on intelligence gathered by hacking into Tehran's traffic cameras and other systems. The events are connected as part of the same heightened conflict, with Iran's state television also reportedly hacked with messages from Netanyahu and Trump during this period.
