Hamas chief Haniyeh believed to be killed by bomb stashed in Tehran guesthouse for months

Published



The people responsible for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh stored a bomb in the guesthouse in Tehran he was staying in for about two months before detonating it overnight into Wednesday, according to the New York Times.

Israel is widely believed to be responsible for Haniyeh’s assassination, though it has not taken credit for it. It largely does not take responsibility for covert operations carried out in enemy territory.
