According to a report in the Jewish Chronicle, the explosive device placed under Haniyeh’s bed was planted by two Iranians from the Revolutionary Guards' Ansar al-Mahdi security unit recruited by the Mossad, the same people who were supposed to secure the building and its guests. During the investigation carried out by the Iranians after the assassination, they saw on the security cameras a recording of guards entering his room.

According to the report, the guards were in the room for 3 minutes and then left, drove away from the building in a black car and were later smuggled out of Iran. The report claims that each of them received a 6-figure sum.
