Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by an explosive device smuggled into a Tehran guesthouse where he was staying. The bomb, which had been hidden approximately two months ago, was planted in a heavily guarded IRGC safe house. The device was detonated remotely once Haniyeh's presence was confirmed. The assassination also resulted in the death of his bodyguard. The incident was reported by The New York Times and confirmed by seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official.
