The spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that the assassination of the former head of Hamas’s political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, was not the result of an internal sabotage operation.The spokesman added that Haniyeh was targeted by a missile fired from a specific distance that hit the window directly and then lodged in his body.He explained that Haniyeh was speaking on the phone at the moment of the strike and that the missile came from the same direction he was looking.As translated by Sada News, he said: "We tried to warn him about his phones that evening, but he didn't take it seriously."
Multiple Western news agencies, relying on anonymous Iranian officials and others, have concluded that Haniyeh was killed by a bomb hidden in his room and triggered by remote control.
We don't have too many photos to verify whether the blast appears internal or external, but reports indicated an outward explosion with little damage to surrounding rooms.
One piece of evidence shows that the IRGC is lying: they arrested dozens of the IRGC workers immediately afterwards, indicating that they knew this was a bad intelligence lapse. Also, there were no alarms ahead of a missile that would be expected from their own defenses.
The missile theory is more damage control, and the IRGC is keeping it going to avoid shame.
