The NYT has published a story claiming the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh was carried out by a bomb planted in his room. While I know both reporters involved in this I find this story hard to believe and also at odds with my own information. For this story to be true, Israel would have to know months in advance that former President Raisi would die in a helicopter crash, there’d be a new election and when, that Haniyeh would attend the inauguration, and also exactly where he’d stay that night and when. It requires a literally incredible set of fortunate coincidences to pull off. No material evidence is produced for this, just anonymous sources. The far simpler explanation is that he or his bodyguards were tracked by their cellphones which they failed to swap or remove the batteries and hit with a missile. But this explanation gives casus belli for retaliation since it implies violate of sovereignty. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/world/middleeast/how-hamas-leader-haniyeh-killed-iran-bomb.html

Unless they were behind the helicopter crash and placed bomba on multiple possible locations, not just the one?

Why does planting a bomb need to be done months in advance?

hard to believe that it was a simple slip up of having their phones on them. You dont think that iranian intelligence is fully penetrated?

Wasn’t there also a source claiming Haniyeh’s mobile was hacked by Mossad using a malicious payload delivered over WhatsApp, and that it was Haniyeh’s mobile itself that was sending its own location for the missile strike? I swear I saw that yesterday

If this is a particularly important room in a secure complex (like for dignitaries), I could see a blind plant in the hopes of generating a target of opportunity in the future - but a targeted op with that many pieces I agree feels on the wrong side of believable

Honestly, I didn't buy that the bomb was planted months earlier either. Something is certainly fishy. Plus, the simpler story is, almost, always the right one.

It sounded all a bit too contrived — it's astounding how MSM just reports it without any editorial opinion on veracity or plausability

Maybe they snuck lots of bombs into lots of guesthouses, and it was a bit more opportunistic rather than meticulously planned out?

Yeah I just don't trust the nyt at all in matters of war. I think you're right.
