New details of Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh during his visit to Tehran.

Mossad decided Tehran as the location, ruling out Moscow due to concerns over Russia’s reaction and Turkey due to NATO implications.

Mossad identified the neighborhood Haniyeh frequented, including an IRGC-protected guesthouse he often used.

An explosive device was planted under Haniyeh’s bed before his arrival, tied to his visit for the Iranian president’s inauguration.

On the night of the assassination, complications arose when Haniyeh left his room due to a malfunctioning air conditioning unit. The issue was fixed, and he returned to sleep.

Around 1:30 AM, the explosive detonated, killing Haniyeh instantly. IRGC responders pronounced him dead on the scene.

Haniyeh’s deputy, Khalil al-Hayya, was reportedly overwhelmed upon witnessing the scene.
