An explosive device hidden in a heavily guarded complex where Ismail Haniyeh was known to stay in Iran was what killed him, according to a Times investigation.
Ismail Haniyeh, a top leader of Hamas, was assassinated on Wednesday by an explosive device covertly smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse where he was staying, according to seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official.
The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, according to five of the Middle Eastern officials. The guesthouse is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and is part of a large compound, known as Neshat, in an upscale neighborhood of northern Tehran.
Mr. Haniyeh was in Iran’s capital for the presidential inauguration. The bomb was detonated remotely, the five officials said, once it was confirmed that he was inside his room at the guesthouse. The blast also killed a bodyguard.
Fantastic. Fuck that guy. How many millions of Palestinians did he condemn to die with no hope or prosperity? Not any more.

Removed, civility.
Fair enough.
He was the lead negotiator working towards a ceasefire. Netanyahu killed him to scuttle further talks.
The dude built tunnels under schools and hospitals. He didn’t give one fuck about the people of Gaza.
With a shovel he stretched all the way from Iran?
C’mon that’s you’re argument? Ridiculous and uninformed take.
Right back at you.
This is Zionist fear mongering used to justify the assassination of a diplomat in pursuit of genocide.
And you’re arguing he deserved to die because “tunnels”.
“Diplomat.” You have to be from a country to have diplomacs. Terrorists do not get to have countries because if they do, they tend to convert all of its resources and domestic capabilities into instrumentalities and fronts for illegal political violence.
Because “tunnels?”
No that’s a simple-minded and reductive take that you’re obviously not making any good faith.
Those tunnels represent a group of criminals who have plundered the wealth in future of what could be a beautiful country and instead converted it for their own personal gain, which happens to be killing Jews.
Every good thing Gaza has ever had has been corrupted by terrorists and repurposed to kill Jews. That’s it. Simple as that.
Did have all the food and water they wanted right now if they didn’t fuck up their airports and waterports by the ing them over to international terrorists with a singular purpose.
Well, I guess you could say it’s two purposes, if exterminating the Jews is thought of as one purpose and installing a new Islamic caliphate seated in Ramallah to rule the world as a secondary one.
That’s what you’re defending, a dude who literally is responsible for making sure millions of Palestinians live and die without ever knowing hope or prosperity. For every boogeyman that you imagine is out here being happy that Palestinian kids are getting killed, nobody was happier to see kids die to Israeli bombs than this dude.
“Terrorists do not get to have countries because if they do, they tend to convert all of its resources and domestic capabilities into instrumentalities and fronts for illegal political violence.”
Bro that is literally the definition of Israel. Human rights violations since its founding and until today.
I guess that means Hamas has every right to retaliate (according to your OWN definition and logic).
And of all the places where a caliphate could spring into life, the very fact that you chose to say “Ramallah” is a stark reminder that you know so little about Palestine or its demographic.
After all, we are not people to you 😊
The IDF puts hospitals next to military installations and forces everyone aged 18 to do military service where they end up abusing and killing Palestinians.
Guess that makes it okay to kill anyone in Israel, and you for supporting it, because
tunnelsmilitary installations near civilian areas.Fuck Hanieh. But also fuck you. It’s not like you view Palestinians as human beings to start with.
