ALBAWABA - Abdussalam Haniyeh, the son of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas Political Bureau, has provided fresh information on the missile attack that claimed his father's life in Tehran. Abdussalam claims that a mobile phone signal inside his father's room was tracked to guide the missile to its intended target.
Abdussalam refuted the idea that a bomb caused the fatality in an interview with Al Arabiya, stating that the missile's accuracy came from its direction via a mobile phone signal. "The entire structure would have been damaged in a catastrophic explosion if a bomb had been deployed. "There is no basis for the theory that a bomb is involved," he said.
Abdussalam clarified that the guided missile was directed at the room by means of a signal from a phone that was near his father the evening before the assault. "My father used his cell phone to participate in an official event, which made the process easier. He said, "I think he was using his phone actively until about 10:15 PM on the night of the incident. I spoke with him several times that day."
When Haniyeh was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, the killing was carried out using a short-range missile, according to confirmation from Iranian officials earlier. On July 31, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps first announced the strike; on August 4, further information became available. According to the investigation's findings, the missile carried a 7 kg warhead.
Contradictory information has emerged, though. According to The New York Times, Haniyeh's death was not caused by a missile attack but rather by a device that was hidden in his home months before.
