The Israeli Mossad assassinated Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh by detonating an explosive device planted in advance in his bedroom at the Iranian government official residence in Tehran
The bomb was planted in the room in advance, the sources said.
They added that the bomb was a high-tech device that used artificial intelligence.
It was detonated remotely by Mossad operatives who were on Iranian soil after receiving intelligence that Haniyeh was indeed in the room.
despite reports that Haniyeh was more practical on hostage deal talks than Hamas Gaza Chief Yahya Sinwar, in fact recently, Haniyeh has often been more of an obstacle to a final deal, such that his removal could even make a deal more likely.
