(Worthy News) – Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed this week by a sophisticated, remote-controlled bomb smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse where he was staying, rather than a missile as previously reported, according to the NY Times.
According to the NY Times, Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated on Wednesday by a bomb that had been concealed two months earlier in a Tehran guesthouse operated and guarded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The report was based on information from one American and seven Middle Eastern officials, including two from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Three Iranian officials described the assassination of Haniyeh at the IRGC-operated guesthouse as a “tremendous embarrassment” for the IRGC, noting the facility also accommodates other dignitaries.
According to the Times, five Middle Eastern officials reported that “Israeli intelligence officials briefed the United States and other Western governments on the details of the operation in the immediate aftermath.” Additionally, the report indicated that several US officials had reached the “assessment” that Israel was responsible for the assassination.
