Israeli Channel 12 has reported new details regarding the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the former head of Hamas, which took place in Tehran. According to the report, the assassination was executed by Mossad using a bomb that was hidden in Haniyeh's personal pillow in his guest room. The operation was described as complex and sensitive, with Mossad having planned the assassination for several months. The timing of the operation was strategically chosen to occur after the inauguration of Iran's new president to avoid additional embarrassment for the Iranian government. The plan nearly failed when the air conditioning unit in Haniyeh's room malfunctioned, prompting him to leave the room for an extended period. However, the hotel staff managed to repair the air conditioning, allowing him to return before the bomb detonated. The operation has been characterized as one of the most intricate in the history of Israeli intelligence.
