Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh alias Ismail Haniyeh has not been killed in the airstrike. Till now it was being claimed that he was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Tehran. But now the New York Times has surprised everyone by making a shocking revelation. The New York Times has reported, quoting several US and Middle East officials, that the death of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was waiting in a posh area of Tehran for 2 months. As soon as Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard reached there, both of them were killed. According to the American newspaper, a bomb was fitted in Ismail Haniyeh’s house 2 months ago.
However, the newspaper has not told who fitted this bomb. But Iran has already accused the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad for this. According to Iran, Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Mossad’s spying. According to Hamas, it was a “treacherous Zionist attack on Haniyeh’s residence in Tehran”.
A remote bomb was planted secretly
According to the New York Times, death was waiting for the Hamas chief for more than two months in Haniyeh’s house in Tehran. A bomb was secretly planted 2 months ago in the guesthouse in Iran where he was expected to come. The guesthouse was inside a large complex, which was used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) for its secret meetings and accommodation of important guests. Haniyeh, the top negotiator of Hamas, had led his political delegation to Qatar. Later he reached Tehran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Explosion was carried out after confirmation of Haniyeh being in the room
According to the report of the American newspaper, when it was confirmed on Tuesday morning that Ismail Haniyeh was present in his room in the guesthouse, the assassins detonated the bomb using a remote. The explosion was so powerful that the entire building shook due to the blast. Many parts of it collapsed and windows broke. Haniyeh and his bodyguard were killed in this explosion. After the assassination of the Hamas chief, there is now a danger of the peace talks to end the Israel-Hamas war being disrupted and another wave of violence starting. However, Israel has not yet taken responsibility for this.
Later Iranian officials also admitted that the explosion took place inside the room
Earlier there was a possibility of a missile attack. But later Iranian officials also accepted that the explosion took place inside Ismail Haniyeh’s room. The bomb was somehow kept hidden. But the Iranian security agencies are surprised as to how the killers managed to hide it for so long. What went wrong with Iran that allowed the enemies to fit the bomb in Haniyeh’s room. Earlier it was being claimed that the Israeli missile dodged the air defense systems in the Iranian capital. But the damage was so minimal that it was much less than the damage caused by a missile attack.
Reconnaissance was done before planting the bomb
According to Middle Eastern officials, months of planning were done and the compound was monitored in detail. The plan was so precise that Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziad al-Nakhla was present in the next room. But he was not injured so badly. The murder has caused a lot of embarrassment to the Iranian authorities. They have not yet been able to find out how and when the bombs were planted. A medical team present in the compound declared Haniyeh dead. They also failed to revive the bodyguard.
Mossad had taken an oath
Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad is mainly entrusted with the task of assassinations outside the country. Mossad chief David Barnea had vowed to eliminate Hamas leaders after the 7 October attacks. He had said that it would take time to reach the Palestinian leaders, as it took after the Munich massacre. But they would not rest until they were eliminated. Even before this, Mossad had secretly run ‘Operation Wrath of God’ in 1972 to avenge the murders of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian operatives in the Barnea Munich Olympics. Its codename was Bayonet. It was extremely successful.
