Ismail Haniyeh, a top leader of Hamas, was assassinated by an explosive device hidden in the Tehran, Iran, guesthouse where he was staying. The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, which is run and protected by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and is part of a large compound known as Neshat. Haniyeh was in Iran's capital for the presidential inauguration. The bomb was detonated remotely, once it was confirmed that he was inside his room at the guesthouse.
