Summary

A.M. Edition for July 31. Ismail Haniyeh’s targeted killing in Tehran marks the highest-ranking death of a Hamas political official since the Gaza war began, and comes just hours after an Israeli strike killed a top Hezbollah commander in Lebanon. The WSJ’s Jared Malsin says the two attacks significantly raise the risk of an escalation. Plus, WSJ editor Alex Frangos unpacks a busy day for markets, featuring central-bank rate decisions in Japan and the U.S. and moves in chip stocks. And, how a protracted strike at Samsung raises the specter of labor showdowns across the semiconductor sector. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.
