Hamas Chief Haniyeh was killed on 31 July 2024 at around 2 am in a building in Iran’s capital Tehran.
Iran has arrested about 24 people in the case of the death of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. These include many Iranian intelligence officers, military officers and guest house staff. This is the same guest house where Haniyeh was attacked.
According to the New York Times, Iran has made these arrests in view of the lapse in Haniyeh’s security. Actually, Haniyeh had gone to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pazshkian. The security of the guest house where he was staying is the responsibility of Iran’s army IRGC.
At the same time, British media house The Telegraph has claimed in its report that Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad is behind the killing of Haniyeh. According to the report, Mossad had hired Iran’s own security agents for this work.
The picture is of the same building where Hamas chief Haniyeh died after the attack.
Israel wanted to kill Haniyeh at Raisi’s funeral
With the help of Iranian officials, bombs were placed in 3 different rooms of the IRGC guest house. This is the same guest house where Haniyeh was staying. Mossad wanted to kill Haniyeh during the last farewell ceremony of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi. However, the plan was likely to fail due to the huge crowd, so it was postponed.
After this, the agents planted bombs in 3 rooms of the guest house. Then they fled the country. However, one of their associates stayed in Iran. Iranian authorities have also found CCTV footage of the bomb being planted in the guest house.
Agents carried out blast after leaving Iran
According to the Telegraph, a source from Iranian agents had informed about Haniyeh being in his room on July 31. After this, the agents detonated the bomb. Talking to the Telegraph on Friday, an IRGC official said that agents of their Ansar al-Mahdi unit were hired by Mossad for this work.
The official said that after investigation, they found bombs in the remaining 2 rooms. Another IRGC official said that this is a big security lapse on the part of Iran. However, the army is trying to hide it.
Indian Embassy advises citizens to remain alert
Tensions have increased in the Middle East since Haniyeh’s death. In view of this, the Indian Embassy in Israel’s capital Tel Aviv issued an advisory for its citizens. The Embassy has advised all Indians living in Israel to remain alert.
They have been asked not to leave the house unnecessarily and follow safety protocols. The Indian Embassy has said that all citizens should remain in constant touch with the Embassy. Apart from this, follow the orders of local authorities for safety.
In fact, to avenge the death of the Hamas chief, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei has threatened to directly attack Israel. He has said that Haniyeh died in Tehran, so it is Iran’s duty to avenge his blood.
However, information about when and how Iran will launch this attack is not known. In view of the threat of war between Israel and Iran, many airlines have stopped flights to Israel. These include Greece, Poland, Netherlands as well as India’s Air India company.
Haniyeh was buried in Lusail, Qatar’s royal cemetery.
The plan to kill Haniyeh was made 2 months ago
Earlier on August 1, American media house New York Times had claimed in its report that Haniyeh was killed not in a missile attack but in a bomb blast. Citing 7 officials from the Middle East, including 2 Iranians, NYT had said that the bomb in which he was killed was hidden 2 months ago and planted in the guest house in Tehran where Haniyeh was staying.
According to the report, as soon as Haniyeh’s arrival was confirmed on Wednesday, a remote-controlled explosion was carried out from somewhere outside. After the explosion, a part of the wall of the building collapsed. Apart from this, the glass panes of many windows were also broken.
Haniyeh died after the swearing in of Iran’s President
Hamas chief Haniyeh was killed on 31 July 2024 at around 2 am in a building in Iran’s capital Tehran. One of his bodyguards was also killed along with him. Haniyeh had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s new President Masoud Pazshkian a day earlier.
Earlier on Friday, Haniyeh was laid to rest in Qatar’s capital Doha. She was buried in Qatar’s royal cemetery Lusail. Thousands of leaders from Qatar and Palestinian groups were present during this time. Before the final farewell, prayers were also offered for Haniyeh in Doha’s largest mosque.
