LOL. Low-tech is best tech.
The assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh was carried out in Tehran this week using an explosive device that was hidden months ago inside the guesthouse where he was staying, a report says.
The bomb ended up being remotely detonated around 2 a.m. local time Wednesday, killing Haniyeh and a bodyguard at the compound protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in the northern part of Iran's capital, Middle Eastern officials told The New York Times.
Haniyeh was in Tehran for Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's swearing-in on Tuesday. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital about the report.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The New York Times that the explosive device was placed in the room where Haniyeh was staying around two months ago and was set off on Wednesday once it was confirmed that he was there.
They said Haniyeh had stayed at the guesthouse several times before while visiting Tehran, adding that Israeli intelligence officials later briefed their counterparts in the U.S. and other Western governments about the operation in its immediate aftermath.
Israel has not come out publicly to claim responsibility for the killing, but Iran and Hamas are blaming the Jewish State for being behind it, according to The Associated Press.
Three Iranian officials separately told The New York Times that the security breach that allowed the explosive device to find its way into the compound where Haniyeh was residing -- which is used by the Guards for secret meetings and housing prominent guests -- is a massive embarrassment to the military agency.
It's an even bigger embarrassment to the cleaning staff! Stick a vacuum under that bed! Dust once in a while, why don't you!
As you probably know, Reuters wrote a headline calling this wanted terrorist -- wanted even by the gaylib International Criminal Court -- "the moderate voice of Hamas." Much like Rudolph Hess was "the moderate voice of the Nazi Party," I guess.
The Washington Post decided to embarrass itself again on Monday -- posting a picture of the funeral of an Israeli child killed by Hezballah's Heroic Martyrdom Attack on a playground with a headline suggesting the dead child was Lebanese and killed by Israeli airstrikes on Hezballah military sites.
The Washington Post faced backlash Monday for its misleading front page showing family members mourning an 11-year-old killed by what officials have said was a Hezbollah airstrike with a headline about Israeli airstrikes.
A missile strike -- which Israeli authorities have said was launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah -- killed at least 12 children and wounded others playing soccer on Saturday in the Golan Heights, according to CNN. The Washington Post paired the image of mourners holding a photo of Alma Ayman Fakher Eldin, one of the 12 child victims, with the headline "Israel hits targets in Lebanon" in its article. The online version of the article has a different featured image at the time of writing.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) condemned the publication's front page on X.
"This is the front page of the @washingtonpost today," the IDF wrote. "You can see grieving family members burying children murdered by Hezbollah in the Madjal Shams massacre. If by chance you understood anything else from their headline, you might not be the problem."
Former Israeli government spokesman Elon Levy was outraged by the "backwards" headline, taking to X in response.
"That's an image of a funeral of a girl KILLED IN ISRAEL BY A HEZBOLLAH ROCKET FROM LEBANON, so why is the @washingtonpost headline backwards?" Levy wrote on X.
