Washington: 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 the so-called 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 many 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, the 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 spying. According to Hamas, it was a “treacherous Zionist attack on Haniyeh’s residence in Tehran”.

A remote bomb was planted in secret

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 done after confirmation of Haniya being in the room

According to the report of the American newspaper, when it was confirmed on Tuesday morning that Ismail Haniya was present in his room in the guesthouse, the killers detonated the bomb with a remote. The explosion was so powerful that the entire building shook with the blast. Many parts of it collapsed and the 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 admitted that the explosion took place inside Ismail Haniya’s room. The bomb was somehow hidden. But the Iranian security agency is surprised as to how the killers were able to hide it for so long. What mistake did Iran make due to which the enemies fitted the bomb in Haniya’s room. Earlier it was 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 that 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 at the compound declared Haniyeh dead. They also failed to revive the bodyguard.

Mossad had vowed
Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad is mainly tasked with assassinations outside the country. Mossad chief David Barnea vowed to eliminate Hamas leaders after the October 7 attacks. He had said that it would take time to reach the Palestinian leaders, as it took after the Munich massacre. But he would not rest until he had finished them off. Even before this, Mossad had secretly run ‘Operation Wrath of God’ in 1972 to avenge the murders of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian goons in the Munich Olympics. Its codename was Bayonet. It was extremely successful.
