New York Times and Axios report that explosives used to murder Palestine's lead peace negotiator were smuggled and planted by Mossad before being remotely detonated while Fars news says Israeli operatives used projectiles to kill Haniyeh.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by US-backed Israel early on Wednesday in Tehran, with varying reports emerging about the method of the attack used by Tel Aviv.
The New York Times reported that an explosive device smuggled and hidden by notorious Israeli spy agency Mossad in Haniyeh's residence for about two months was detonated remotely after confirming his presence.
The daily said the "explosive device was covertly smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse," run by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and hidden for about two months, according to seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official.
"The bomb was detonated remotely" after confirming Haniyeh's presence in his room, NYT said citing five officials.
The blast caused severe damage to the building, including the partial collapse of an exterior wall, and shattered windows, it cited two Iranian officials.
